My opening testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee at yesterday's hearing on stemming hate crimes in America.
There is a problem, and there are solutions:

Dear @JudiciaryDems ,
You are so incredibly wrong, and I can prove it.
A thread, in response to yours.
The only difference? Mine has citations.
Let me explain:
Dear @AOC and other useful idiots who only discover IHL if they think it hurts Israel:
No, Israel's attack did not violate international law, including your newfound darling 'AP II Article 7' rules against booby traps (which I bet you never heard of until today).
Here is why:
.@amnesty international literally redefined the legal term of genocide to suit their accusation, stripping the term of its actual meaning in the process. The craziest part? They admit this in their report, correctly assuming that most people won't read all the way to p. 101: 🧵
Amnesty International’s new landmark report concludes that Israeli authorities have committed – and still are committing - genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.
Full report, out now.

Dear @SenSanders:
International law is clear on these points, but you are either illiterate or willfully ignorant about what the laws actually say.
Either way, you are wrong and I can prove it because- unlike you- I will bring the receipts.
Let me explain:
Netanyahu’s extremist government has halted ALL humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Starving children is a war crime.
UN leaders said: "International humanitarian law is clear: we must be allowed access to deliver vital lifesaving aid. We need to get aid in and the hostages out.”
These are your heroes Israel. My heart swells with pride.
On Oct 7, Lieutenant Amichai Reuven did not have a car, so he put on his uniform and ran 8 miles to the front lines of Gaza to defend his people.
Israeli citizen Miriam Adelson bought the Dallas Mavericks for $3.5 billion; now she’s buying politicians. She’s spending millions in Kentucky to buy Ed Gallrein, my primary opponent, a Congressional seat in Kentucky. Why? Because I won’t vote to send your tax dollars overseas.

Dear @AOC,
Your hateful ignorance knows no bounds.
Everything you said is wrong, and it must bother you to no end that President Trump just saved the free world.
Let me explain:
The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.
Dear @AOC and friends:
You don't understand the first thing about international law, but that doesn't stop you from spreading your ignorance. Here is a quick primer on the Law of Armed Conflict to explain why you and @Ilhan are incredibly, dangerously, wrong as usual:
The one that has you all indignant is ground number (VII): [Any alien who] endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization;
Dear @AOC,
You are wrong on the facts and the law. Khalil is not being held for speech, he is being held for his actions, which go so far beyond the legal threshold that the only risk in this case is creating an artificially high standard for future deportations. Let me explain:
Update re: Vueling Matter-
Joint Statement from @NJACLaw, @Association_OJE, and @ACOM_es:
The signatory organizations express our deep concern regarding the events that occurred on July 23, 2025, at Valencia airport, where 44 French minors were expelled from an airplane by the
To begin, the Immigration and Nationality Act § 212(a)(3) contains a number of activities for which a person can be deemed ineligible based on security and related grounds. Subsection (B)(i) has nine grounds related to terrorism.
