US Judge Rules Pro-Palestine Student Activist Can Be Deported

Mahmoud Khalil, a US permanent resident and university graduate student, has been deemed eligible for deportation by an immigration judge. The ruling is based on the Trump administration's claim that a memo written by Marco Rubio stated Khalil's beliefs, statements, and associations were counter to foreign policy interests. Khalil was detained by federal immigration agents in March after participating in pro-Palestinian demonstrations, which the government claims pose "potentially serious foreign policy consequences."
