Columbia student faces deportation over pro-Palestine protests

Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and green card holder, faces deportation due to his involvement in pro-Palestine protests. The Trump administration claims he poses a risk to U.S. foreign policy, citing a rarely used immigration law. Khalil's lawyers argue the deportation violates his First Amendment rights. They contend he is being targeted for his speech and that immigration officers did not follow proper procedures during his arrest. The case raises legal questions about the application of the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act. Khalil remains in detention in Louisiana, seeking to return to New York, where he lives with his pregnant wife.
