US judge rules pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported
Al Jazeera
Donald Trump’s administration is pushing to deport Khalil over his participation in pro-Palestine university protests.
A United States immigration judge has ruled that the deportation case against Mahmoud Khalil can proceed, a month after the Columbia University graduate student was detained over his involvement in pro-Palestine protests.
Judge Jamee Comans made the determination on Friday at the end of a nearly two-hour hearing in the US state of Louisiana, saying the government had “established by clear and convincing evidence that he is removable”.
Khalil – a US permanent resident – can appeal the decision.
“Mahmoud was subject to a charade of due process, a flagrant violation of his right to a fair hearing and a weaponization of immigration law to suppress dissent,” one of his lawyers, Marc Van Der Hout, said in a statement after the hearing.
“This is not over, and our fight continues,” he added.
