BREAKINGBREAKING,
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.
Khalil can appeal the ruling.
The case has drawn widespread scrutiny as rights advocates accuse President Donald Trump’s administration of cracking down on free speech and pro-Palestine activism under the guise of fighting anti-Semitism.
