Summary
ICE agents arrested Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a leader in Columbia University’s encampment movement, claiming his student visa was revoked.
However, his attorney Amy Greer states he has a green card, not a student visa.
Despite filing a habeas corpus petition, Greer can’t locate where Khalil is being held, noting his eight-months-pregnant wife couldn’t find him at a New Jersey facility.
The arrest follows Trump’s March 4 social media threat to defund universities allowing “illegal protests” and deport “agitators.”
Harris of the Biden Harris administration that was arresting student protestors from the start?
Or Harris of the Biden Harris administration that deported more people than trump while dropping the number of new visas issued?
Did they disappear or deport people with green cards?
Answering a question with a question is pretty shitty.
They made a statement. You responded with leading questions that implied the statement is factually incorrect. The premise of your questions was also incorrect - the previous administration opposed the protests, but they did not send federal agents, unlike the current administration.
Rather than answer (mis)leading questions, OP responded with questions to force you to explicitly answer whether their original statement is incorrect. Did Harris do this? Would Harris have done this? They’re fair questions. But I guess only you get to ask questions around here.

Looks like yes, if you look for the stories. ICE is terrible no matter the administration.

Dude was deported when Trump was in office. But sure, blame Biden for it to show how committed you are to being uncommitted.
Were student protesters arrested by the Biden administration? I did not hear about this. Link?
Biden did support the crackdowns and arrests of about 3000 pro Palestinian protesters, including a law to label the protests as antisemitic and target universities that ‘tolerate’ the (peaceful) protests. He didn’t deport any protesters. He did back both that law and the law that can label any pro-palestinian (and any pro- marginalized group) organization as’ supporters of terrorism’ to revoke federal funding and add tax penalties, both of which fit into Project Esther, the plan Trump is currently enacting as part of Project 2025

I’m aware that Biden was somewhat hostile towards the protesters but that’s not what was claimed. None of this really answers the question of whether the Biden administration arrested protestors. That would be highly unusual since most protests are handled by local police.
