Trump Admin Is Buying Time in Federal Court to Speed Mahmoud Khalil Deportation
Briefly

Mahmoud Khalil, a legal permanent resident detained in Louisiana, faces deportation due to his participation in Gaza protests, as ruled by an immigration judge. The ruling relies on evidence from the Trump administration that primarily cites Khalil's beliefs and associations, indicating a troubling precedent against free expression. His legal team is actively challenging this decision in New Jersey, emphasizing the urgency and perceived retaliatory nature of the government's actions against Khalil's protests highlighting the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
an immigration judge ruled Friday that the Trump administration has grounds to deport Khalil for taking part in Gaza student protests, despite being a legal permanent resident of the United States.
the U.S. is seeking to deport him based purely on his 'beliefs, statements, or associations.' Despite the setback, Khalil still has a separate case playing out in New Jersey.
that is the reason that he and many others are being subject to this retaliatory policy of arresting, detaining and transferring people simply for their protest.
we are moving with urgency. The government is trying to slow down the case in federal court and speed it up in immigration court.
