Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

I hear you, ICE appears to be claiming that his visa expired two years earlier. Do you find it curious that the university is claiming otherwise?

I wasn't able to access this article, but the university is maintaining that Dr. Kibret does have a valid work visa:

UMB said Kibret has a valid work authorization.

The university representative wrote in a statement sent to WBAL-TV 11 News, in part: "The university is greatly troubled by what has happened. Dr. Kibret is a highly valued member of the University of Maryland, Baltimore, community. He is an effective and beloved teacher, and a highly regarded colleague. His detention will certainly generate not only great sympathy for his plight, but also a heightened sense of apprehension here on campus."

Prior to joining the UMB faculty in 2023, Kibret worked at William Paterson University as a postdoctoral researcher focusing on the causes and treatment of addiction, specifically in the field of cannabinoid receptors and the behavioral effects of drugs of abuse.

"It is our hope that any issues surrounding his status will be quickly resolved and that he will be permitted to continue his work at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy," the university said.

The source in this case is:

But I'm hoping the referenced article also cites the university's claim. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Given this man's excellent scientific background, credentials, and that he's the recipient of this prestigious award, one can understand how the pedophile fascists like to shoot themselves in the foot multiple times. Though I suppose, this is just one example of so many.
