Mahmoud Khalil, facing deportation to the Middle East due to his pro-Palestinian activism, argues that he risks severe retaliation, including potential assassination by Israel. An immigration judge ruled that she lacked authority to challenge the Secretary of State's assessment of Khalil's activism as antisemitic. During a lengthy hearing, Khalil's lawyers sought asylum by highlighting the dangers he would face upon return to either Syria or Algeria, stressing the false accusations from the Trump administration against him have made him a target internationally.
"His life is at stake, your honor," one of his lawyers stated, emphasizing the severe consequences Khalil faces if deported due to his activism and public accusations.
Khalil's fear of deportation revolves around the potential for drastic actions from Israel, including assassination or kidnapping, stemming from his pro-Palestinian stance.
