Mahmoud Khalil, a graduate student at Columbia until this past December, was inside his university-owned apartment Saturday night when several Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered and took him into custody, his attorney, Amy Greer, told The Associated Press.
Greer said she spoke by phone with one of the ICE agents during the arrest, who said they were acting on State Department orders to revoke Khalil's student visa. Informed by the attorney that Khalil was in the United States as a permanent resident with a green card, the agent said they were revoking that instead, according to the lawyer.

This is a HUGE deal. They have arrested and detained a legal permanent resident (Mahmoud Khalil has a green card), without a warrant, without due process, and intend to revoke his green card and deport him, and ICE won't say where he is.
So many constitutional rights violated, the exact kind of thing that Putin has done (go read Bill Browder's book Red Notice about what Putin did to Sergei Magnitsky), and he's bragged about it saying that it's the first of many to come.
If he gets away with this, he will illegally detain and disappear natural born citizens too.
