If you're a non-citizen and you lead a protest that escalates into a riot, you should be held accountable. Your legal status should be revoked, and you should be deported to your country of origin.
Take Columbia University as an example—Mahmoud Khalil led an anti-Israel/pro-Palestine protest that turned violent. Protesters assaulted students and even chased Jewish students, forcing some to flee and lock themselves in rooms for safety. This is unacceptable. If someone is in the country as a refugee, a visa holder, or a legal resident, they should not be engaging in subversive activities. It’s contradictory to seek refuge or residency in a country while actively undermining the very system that granted that opportunity.
I fully support freedom of speech, but there’s a line between ideological differences and actions that verge on inciting violence or even terrorism.
