Reuters story adds more context but mostly with the effect of making the story more horrifying. DHS do appear to have arrested and threatened to deport a green card holder (with a US citizen wife) because they don't like his political views

US authorities arrest Palestinian student protester at Columbia University, students say
The detention of graduate student Mahmoud Khalil appears to be one of the first efforts by Donald Trump to fulfill his promise to seek the deportation of some foreign students involved in the pro-Palestinian protest movement.

2. This is some fascist shit.

If he broke laws then he should be charged for them but to punish someone for their political beliefs is not something anyone here should condone.

3. All Americans should be outraged by this. Illegal to protest??
