The following was sent to my House rep. and both Senators:
March 11, 2025
Dear Representative Huizenga,
I’m writing to ask you to step up and defend our constitutional right to protest, and demand the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil. Mahmoud is a lawful permanent resident who has been detained without charges in retaliation for exercising his First Amendment rights.
Every person has the right to free speech, as guaranteed by the constitution. The Trump administration has consistently moved to harass and quiet critics and the free press in its attempt to move us closer and closer to a fascist authoritarian state. Please move to stop him before it is too late. Our future depends on it.
Sincerely,
Rev. Kenneth Arthur
