Je suis Khalil
The fate of the detained Columbia University graduate is a test of how easily Trump can slide into lawlessness
Hasnain says:
Didn’t expect to see this from the FT of all places while legacy/traditional media continues to be cowards. I guess FT has a financial incentive here to be more honest and it shows.

My guess is that Khalil’s case will make it to the Supreme Court. There, one of three scenarios could happen:
The court rejects Trump’s attempts to bring back the Hanoverian bill of attainder and Trump reluctantly complies.
The court folds and essentially declares Trump to be king.
The court upholds the law, which gives due process to citizens and permanent residents alike, but Trump ignores the ruling.
Both 2 and 3 would end the rule of law in America, though 3 would be a more dramatic way of doing it. 1 would be great, though do not bet on it.
