by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 5 – A man who was expelled from Columbia University after Congressmember Virginia Foxx asked and tweeted about him and anti-Semitism filed a lawsuit against Rep. Foxx on February 5 in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, where Inner City Press found it. The complaint alleges that Foxx "abused her role and authority as Chairperson and member of the House Committee on Education and Workforce to try to retaliate against and punish James for their First Amendment-protected criticism of Israel" - quoting a tweet that "@Columbia you have failed again." Columbia replied on X, "The individual in question has been barred from Columbia's campus since April 2024 and is not a registered student." Paragraph 19 is "James is not an antisemite." The case is James v. Foxx, 1:26-cv-998 (Unassigned) *** Your support means a lot.
