3rd Circuit Reverses Khalil Release, Keeping Palestinian Activist in Immigration Detention

A three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower-court decision releasing Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, ruling that immigration challenges must be filed as a petition for review of a final removal order in an appeals court, not a habeas petition, effectively moving Khalil closer to detention and potential deportation with the Trump administration pushing to remand the case.
