The unlawful detention of Mahmoud Khalil is one of the most extreme threats to free speech in 50 years. Trump is sending a message that people who speak out will be punished — but we have a message for him, too. We'll see you in court.

Mahmoud Khalil’s detention is a frightening sign of an authoritarian slide.

The Trump administration illegally arrested and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful permanent resident and recent graduate of Columbia University, in direct retaliation for his advocacy. The government must immediately release him from custody.
Brown graphic with text "“This arrest is unprecedented, illegal, and un-American. The federal government is claiming the authority to deport people with deep ties to the U.S. and revoke their green cards for advocating positions that the government opposes. To be clear: The First Amendment protects everyone in the U.S. The government’s actions are obviously intended to intimidate and chill speech on one side of a public debate. The government must immediately return Mr. Khalil to New York, release him back to his family, and reverse course on this discriminatory policy.”

🚨IMPORTANT PLEASE READ!🚨 50501 is a PEACEFUL movement dedicated to positive change through nonviolent action. We unequivocally condemn any form of violence, threats of violence, or the suggestion of using weapons in connection with our movement. #50501movement #FiftyFiftyOne @polrev.bsky.social
Image says: We remain committed to non-violence. 50501: The People’s Movement, Official Statement on Violence and Weapons

50501 is a peaceful movement dedicated to positive change through nonviolent action. We unequivocally condemn any form of violence, threats of violence, or the suggestion of using weapons in connection with our movement. There is absolutely no place for such rhetoric in our spaces.

To be completely clear: Weapons are not permitted at any of our events. Our mission is rooted in peaceful advocacy, and we will not allow any actions that could endanger our supporters, the public, or law enforcement.

Furthermore, we have a zero-tolerance policy regarding discussions of firearms, violence, or any form of incitement on our channels and platforms. Anyone who violates this policy will be immediately banned. There will be no warnings, no second chances.
In all of our events, we have worked in accordance with local law as it pertains to local gatherings and protesting, including pulling permits. We expect all of our supporters to conduct themselves lawfully and responsibly, and disavow anything advocating for disruption or violence.
We urge everyone to remain peaceful, lawful, and committed to the principles of nonviolent action. 50501 stands for justice, progress, and the power of the people—peacefully. Let’s keep it that way.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS
IN CASE OF ICE:
CONOCE TUS DERECHOS
EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.ASK THEM
TO LEAVE.
If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission.
2
PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN.
Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.REMAIN SILENT.
You have the right to remain silent.
If the agents ask you questions, tell them,
"I wish to remain silent."
PERMANECE EN SILENCIO.
Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio.
Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles:
"Deseo permanecer en silencio".

Stop saying: there are "bigger fish to fry" than going after the trans community. This implies that we are fish (problems) to be fried (dealt with / cured). We are are problem-solvers. If we are classified as sub-human, trans people and our allies will rise up to restore our dignity and rights.

Stop saying: the trans population is less than 1%, and thus is not worth attacking. Start saying: trans people AND THEIR ALLIES make up a majority of the population - and if you target one of us, we will ALL rise up in defense. We are stronger together. We can't be divided without our consent.
