Judge says Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil can't be removed from U.S. as protesters call for his release
The Columbia University grad, who helped organize the school’s pro-Palestinian rallies, was detained Saturday night and told his student visa was being revoked, his attorney said.
Summary
A federal judge blocked the removal of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil from the U.S. after his arrest by ICE.
Khalil, a Columbia University graduate who helped organize pro-Palestinian protests, was arrested Saturday by ICE agents who claimed his visa was revoked for supporting Hamas.
The Trump administration continues to claim he violated an executive order prohibiting anti-Semitism, though no evidence was provided. Protesters in NYC demand his release, calling the arrest unconstitutional.
His location remains unclear. The ACLU and immigrant rights groups argue the detention violates free speech, warning it sets a dangerous precedent.

Judge Jesse M. Furman said Khalil is to remain in the U.S. "to preserve the court's jurisdiction" as the court weighs a filing challenging his arrest and planned deportation. A hearing was scheduled for Wednesday at federal court in New York City.
Who wants to be they will deport him anyway? "oopsie, we all make mistakes, right?"

They aren't going to deport him, they ate going to put him in Guantanamo as I believe he does not have the same legal protections there.
I think?

It’s less about legal protections and more about logistical. It’s pretty damn hard for lawyers and the press to visit someone in gitmo.

He would not have those rights but Im not sure how they decide who goes there. This man's wife and newborn are in the USA.

I believe he does not have the same legal protections there. I think?
That's what been claimed, but it's been tyrannical unconstitutional bullshit since 2001.

Well Isreal did... Ironic

Hell they already disappeared him. His fucking lawyer doesn't know where he is at. He most likely already in Getmo and he isn't coming back I'm afraid. Trump going show just how far he can get away with crimes. Hell at this rate we will get consonstration camps before June. Fucking wild how fast fascism is running rampant through our country and not a single politician is doing goddamm thing to stop it.
