The screen shot is words from the free access link to the NYTimes piece and the words are “While Mr. Mamdani was not a target of the hack, the information about him was included in a database of millions of student applications to Columbia going back decades. The data was shared with The Times by an intermediary who goes by the name Crémieux on Substack and X. He provided the data under condition of anonymity, although his identity has been made public elsewhere. He is an academic who opposes affirmative action and writes often about I.Q. and race.
This part of the Guardian article in the link says: " Money for mass deportations and a border wall As part of Trump’s plan to remove undocumented immigrants from the country, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) will receive $45bn for detention facilities, $14bn for deportation operations and billions of dollars more to hire an additional 10,000 new agents by 2029. More than $50bn is allocated for the construction of new border fortifications, which will probably include a wall along the border with Mexico."
Notorious and famous 1972 black and white photo of Rolling Stone Keith Richard leaning on a water fountain in US Customs facility. A sign on the wall behind him is centered in the photo. The sign says “Patience please…a drug free America comes first.” Keith Richard was already well-known at this time for his use of recreational drugs. He is wearing a button from the Coca-Cola Company that says “Coke!” The juxtaposition of Richard and the sign was extremely funny and ironic at the time, and since.
