Mahmoud Khalil arrested at Columbia

A U.S. District Court judge has ruled that the Trump administration cannot deport Mahmoud Khalil, the radical, pro-Hamas activist who was a graduate student at Columbia University.

Random activist judges have overstepped their authority to rule against the Trump administration so many times in the last few months that it’s nearly impossible to keep up with all the rulings.

Who appointed these judges to run the country? No one, and the American people are already sick and tired of this.

Federal judge sides with anti-Israel ringleader Mahmoud Khalil, halts Trump administration’s deportation bid

A federal judge sided with Mahmoud Khalil, an anti-Israel ringleader detained by the Trump administration, blocking the government from continuing to hold him on “foreign policy” grounds.

U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz on Wednesday granted a preliminary injunction preventing the government from detaining or removing Khalil, 30, based on a memorandum issued by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The memo asserted that Khalil’s presence “compromises a compelling foreign policy interest.”

“The government cannot claim an interest in enforcing what appears to be an unconstitutional law,” Farbiarz wrote, adding that the threat to free speech raised serious First Amendment concerns.

The ruling is a significant legal setback for the administration’s efforts to deport Khalil, who has been held at a detention facility in Louisiana following his involvement in anti-Israel demonstrations at Columbia University.

While the ruling grants a preliminary injunction against Khalil’s removal, it stops short of ordering his release.

This is not a free speech issue, as the left has tried to frame it. It’s really very simple. Khalil is here as a guest, and we are done putting up with guests who call for our country’s destruction. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has made the new policy very plain and simple.
