An Australian student at Columbia wrote about the anti-war protests at Columbia on Substack. Apparently the only people who read his words were the US government.
He was deported back to Australia.

He wasn’t imprisoned. He was returned home. That’s not harmful, unless you consider Australia to be like a prison.

He was returned home for (horror!) speech that no one read.
A right wing pro-Israeli group listed him as someone to kick out just like they did for the students in Columbia and Tufts, among many others, They who committed no crimes but believe that Palestinians lives have value.

It’s good that there are groups like that to monitor and report hate speech.

Although I have never been imprisoned, I confident that if you were, you would see the difference.

I should add, imprisoned in an actual prison.

R8 did you read his substack? No. Did you even read the article. Doubtful.
Troll.

Merriam-Webster says:
imprisoned; imprisoning -ˈpriz-(ə-)niŋ : to put in or as if in prison

He actually didn’t write any hate speech at all. He reported on the protests and gave a very even-handed view of them.
THAT was the problem. Because he didn’t toe the right wing lie that the protests were automatically anti-Semitic, he was thrown out of the country by Trump’s hooligans.
This is the America we’ve become.
