In a revealing NPR interview, DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar struggled to support his accusations against Mahmoud Khalil, who is being scrutinized for potential terrorist ties. Edgar suggested that because Khalil initially entered the U.S. on a student visa, he could still be subject to deportation despite having a Green Card. This conversation raises questions about due process and immigration rights, particularly in the context of executive actions. Edgar's inability to provide clear justification highlights issues in governmental immigration enforcement and the complexities of visa statuses.
Edgar: I think if he would have declared he's a terrorist, we would have never let him in.
Repeatedly Edgar suggests that the reason they can deport Khalil is because he initially came into the US on a student visa, even though he now has a Green Card.
