Green card holders face deportation threats for activism

Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder and Palestinian activist, faces deportation threats from the Trump administration after his arrest in New York. This raises concerns about First Amendment protections for lawful permanent residents. Khalil's case highlights that green card holders can be deported without criminal charges or evidence of wrongdoing. The administration claims his activism supports terrorism, a broad interpretation of immigration law. A federal judge has temporarily blocked Khalil's deportation while his legal challenge continues. His attorneys argue the government is targeting him for his political speech, which they say is protected under the Constitution.
