We don't know this is mistreatment. It's not wrong for the government to subpoena data to investigate a crime.

To which specific "crime" are you referring?

From TFA[0]:

   Amandla Thomas-Johnson had attended a protest targeting companies that 
   supplied weapons to Israel at a Cornell University job fair in 2024 for all 
   of five minutes, but the action got him banned from campus. 
I didn't realize that attending a protest was now a crime. When, exactly, did that happen?

I'm not familiar with the full details of the investigation.


Does that mean you’re retracting your earlier claim? The people who are familiar with the details are saying it’s mistreatment, do you have any evidence contradicting them or is it simply a reflex to contradict criticism of your preferred team?


I find it hard to believe that ICE is claiming their own subpoena is mistreatment. Do you have evidence of that?


Yep. Ignorance is bliss, ain't it?
