In a heated exchange on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored', Mehdi Hasan challenged Rep. Dan Crenshaw's assertions regarding Mahmoud Khalil's detention by the Trump administration. Khalil, a pro-Palestinian student at Columbia University, faces deportation under a Cold War-era immigration provision. Crenshaw claimed Khalil broke the law, referencing U.S. code 1227, while Hasan pointed out the contradiction with White House statements, which state no crime needs to be charged for Khalil's deportation. The encounter highlighted the tensions between immigration policy and free speech rights.
Hasan called Crenshaw's claims embarrassing and told him, among other things, to Check with the White House on talking points before you come on TV.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw emphasized that Khalil's detention is based on U.S. Code 1227, claiming Khalil violated the law as a representative of a group endorsing terrorist activity.
