I don't mind his release; holding him without bail seems egregious.

Besides, maybe he'll flee back to Syria and get his old job with UNRWA, where he can help them help Hamas steal UN aid from Palestinian citizens.   

Or file a $20 million lawsuit against the administration which he has a good chance of winning.  Actually he also says “He would accept, in lieu of payment, an official apology and abandonment of the administration’s unconstitutional policy, said a statement from his lawyers.”

I didn’t say whether or not I supported it.  Just that I think he has a good chance of winning.   @jerryskids described part of his detention as “egregious,” he might agree.

Hate speech. Liberals cried about that for years about Trump before the selfie-fest. 

Go ahead, say the N word on this site and you will be banned. Go say it at work and see if you keep your job. 

But slandering Jews and white Americans? Oh that's all good in your eyes.

Seriously, put some reality into your thinking.

Get rid of him. Next you will be voting for Marist mayors of your city. Oh wait, you don't live in New York City. Coming soon to a city near you, Marxism and hate speech and authoritarian government. 

 

 

Mahmoud Khalil accused Columbia University of creating a "manufactured public hysteria about antisemitism" and likened the school to a Nazi collaborationist government.

He also claimed, without citing evidence, that fellow students who spoke out against antisemitism were serving in the Israeli military during school vacations.

The letter, published Friday in the Columbia Spectator, the student newspaper, is Khalil’s second since he was arrested on campus by ICE nearly a month ago. Khalil, a Syrian-born Palestinian and recent graduate of Columbia, was a leader of protests against Israel and among the first and most prominent student activists to be arrested in the Trump administration’s campus crackdown. He is now fighting deportation in court.

It's all surreal. These people come to this country to protest both this country and other countries they don't like. 

Just focking throw them out.  Only liberals do this shlt. They want this country to fail.

Immigration judge orders Mahmoud Khalil to be deported to Algeria or Syria

An immigration judge has ordered Mahmoud Khalil be deported to Algeria or Syria, alleging he omitted information from his green card application, according to court documents filed Wednesday.

Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student whose case has been at the center of the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration and on vocal opponents of Israel's war in Gaza, was detained by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement in March and released in June.

Immigration Judge Jamee Comans, based out of Jena, Louisiana, on Friday denied Khalil's motion for a waiver preventing his removal from the United States because of alleged misrepresentations made in an application for an adjustment of status.

Khalil's attorneys said they have 30 days from the Friday order to appeal the decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals.

In that order, Comans cited that on June 20, the court issued a written decision denying Khalil’s application for asylum and ordered he be removed to Algeria and Syria.

She doubled down on that ruling, saying the court found Khalil’s “lack of candor on his I-485 form was not an oversight by an uninformed, uneducated applicant.” The form is an application to register permanent residence or adjust status.

“Rather, this Court finds that Respondent willfully misrepresented material fact(s) for the sole purpose of circumventing the immigration process and reducing the likelihood his applications could be denied. This Court cannot and will not condone such an action by granting a discretionary waiver,” Comans said. 

In a statement, Khalil said, “It is no surprise that the Trump administration continues to retaliate against me for my exercise of free speech. Their latest attempt, through a kangaroo immigration court, exposes their true colors once again."

“When their first effort to deport me was set to fail, they resorted to fabricating baseless and ridiculous allegations in a bid to silence me for speaking out and standing firmly with Palestine, demanding an end to the ongoing genocide,” he continued. “Such fascist tactics will never deter me from continuing to advocate for my people’s liberation.”

Khalil, a native of Syria and citizen of Algeria, entered the United States on a student visa in December 2022, and his status was adjusted to lawful permanent resident last November.

The Trump administration has accused Khalil, a green card holder, of withholding information about his membership in certain organizations, including that he was a political officer of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency of Palestine Refugees and that he was part of Columbia University Apartheid Divest. Furthermore, the Trump administration said he failed to disclose his previous employment at the Syria Office in the British Embassy in Beirut in his permanent residency application last year.

The Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

>>However, the government will have to prove to the immigration judge that Khalil willfully failed to disclose that information, and whether that disclosure would have impacted his eligibility for permanent residency. <<
 

>>Khalil filed a lawsuit, also known as a habeas petition, protesting his detention in New York. The lawsuit cited a violation of his right to due process and the First Amendment right to free speech. Last week, a New York judge ordered the habeas petition to continue in New Jersey because Khalil’s attorneys filed the case while he was detained there. 

New York Federal Judge Jesse Furman also barred his deportation amid the lawsuit, saying Khalil’s claims of First and Fifth Amendment violations warrant "careful judicial review."

The Trump administration's Sunday filing in the district of New Jersey argued that the state lacked jurisdiction to hear the habeas case. <<
 

- Federal cases in NY & NJ - and a deportation case in Louisiana, where he’s not even living. This is pretty complex.
