[I think that this is significant.]
"Rogan, who endorsed Trump just hours before the 2024 presidential election, now says he was misled by the man he helped boost into office. The podcaster and UFC commentator, known for giving a platform to anti-cancel culture figures and free speech advocates, is now accusing #Trump of betraying the very values he campaigned on."
#Rogan:
“There’s two things that are insane. One is the targeting of migrant workers, not cartel members, not gang members, not drug dealers, just construction workers showing up at construction sites, raiding them. Gardeners. Like, really?”

‘Justice Will Prevail,’ #MahmoudKhalil Says as He Goes Free on Bail
Mr. Khalil, a #Columbia graduate, had been held in Louisiana for over three months as the #Trump administration sought to deport him. A judge found reason to believe it was retaliation for his pro-#Palestinian speech.

"On Friday, Judge Farbiarz rebuked the government mildly, noting that it had offered no evidence to suggest that Mr. Khalil was a danger to his community. The administration’s claims about his links to, or even sympathies for, #Hamas have not been substantiated in court.
“He is not a danger to the community, period, full stop,” the judge said."
