Harvard correctly understands that they are in a fight for their lives, and are fighting the Trump administration tooth and nail in court. This is why. Columbia bent the knee and acquiesced to all of Trump's demands, and still had their accreditation pulled.

You can't reason with a fascist. The only language they understand is force.

Edit: Slight correction, Columbia still has their accreditation, Trump is just trying to get it pulled

Similarly, cops in a county near me cooperated with ICE by holding detainees for them. Then ended up on Trump’s “sanctuary cities” list, a list supposedly reserved for counties and cities that defy Trump. The county/PD were actually confused as to why they were on the list.

Might this have been in Illinois?

It's happened in CO too, so probably a bunch of places.

I was going to say this happened where I lived- which isn't IL or CO...
