That is an irrelevant hypothetical.
His interview with customers and border patrol is recounted in the article and makes it clear his detention and deportation was about is opinions on Israel-Gaza:
"To Officer Martinez, the pieces were highly concerning. He asked me what I thought about “it all,” meaning the conflict on campus, as well as the conflict between Israel and Hamas. He asked my opinion of Israel, of Hamas, of the student protesters. He asked if I was friends with any Jews. He asked for my views on a one- versus a two-state solution. He asked who was at fault: Israel or Palestine. He asked what Israel should do differently."

- bhouston 1y agoThis is a really weird response on your part. You are misleadingly reframing the drug use part: it was THC gummies bought legally in NYC, and they had no evidence of drug use prior to searching his phone, a search which was motivated by their disapproval of his political views. Then you talk about irrelevant topics for two paragraphs. I need to move on.
- josephcsible 1y ago> THC gummies bought legally in NYC It's still Schedule I federally, so even though there aren't local laws against it anymore, it was still bought illegally, since NYC is part of the United States and subject to federal law.
