US Immigration Judge Orders Deportation of Mahmoud Khalil to Syria or Algeria

U.S. immigration judge ordered pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil to be deported for allegedly misrepresenting facts on his green card application, but a separate federal court order currently prevents his immediate deportation while he plans to appeal. Khalil, a U.S. resident and Columbia student, was detained for over 100 days earlier this year amid broader tensions over free speech and pro-Palestinian activism during the Trump administration.
