"When ICE agents are detaining students for protesting on campus and writing op-eds about the genocide in Gaza,"

Yes, because that is the reason ICE detains students! Just peaceful protests and op-eds.

"How does that recontextualize the work and obligations of academics as teachers, administrators and members of the university community?"

It doesn't change anything. Academics do not have any obligations toward terrorists and their fellow travelers.

But keep wailing and weeping, you are so good at it.

Constitutional and academic freedoms are different. What we need in the academy is an expansion of first amendment rights in addition to a restatement and reaffirmation of academic freedom that pertains to our disciplines and faculty governance. Academic freedom is a form of speech must more restricted than first amendment rights.
