Trump Administration Lays Out Its Evidence for Deporting Activist Mahmoud Khalil | KQED
Briefly

Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate student, was arrested by ICE agents under a controversial statute allowing deportation for perceived threats to U.S. foreign policy. DHS provided minimal evidence, a two-page letter by Secretary Rubio accusing him of participating in "antisemitic protests and disruptive activities." Khalil's lawyers argue the letter fails to meet legal standards for deportation, citing protections for lawful expressions. The case involves multiple legal challenges as the validity of the Secretary’s claims is questioned based on insufficient evidence and potential political motivations.
His determination, quote unquote, has absolutely nothing to do with foreign policy, according to Khalil's lawyer Marc Van Der Hout, revealing serious gaps in evidence.
There is no there there at all, stated Marc Van Der Hout, emphasizing the lack of substantial evidence provided by the Department of Homeland Security regarding Khalil's charges.
