Coulter questions deportation of Columbia student Khalil
Ann Coulter has questioned the Trump administration's effort to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian graduate student at Columbia University. Khalil, a permanent U.S. resident, was arrested for his role in protests against the Israeli government. Coulter, known for her strict anti-immigration stance, stated that deporting Khalil without a crime conviction may violate the First Amendment. Advocates for immigrants share her view that permanent residents should not be deported without criminal charges. Khalil's arrest follows Trump's executive orders targeting pro-Palestinian activists. Trump has vowed to deport more students he labels as "terrorist sympathizers." Khalil's legal team is seeking a court hearing to challenge his deportation.
