Green card holders' rights questioned after deportation case

A New York federal judge will hear the case of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist facing deportation after his arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Khalil, a green card holder, is not charged with a crime but is accused of supporting terrorism through his protests. Khalil's lawyers have filed a habeas corpus challenge, and the judge has ordered that he cannot be removed from the U.S. until the court decides. His arrest follows a Trump administration directive to deport international students who protest against Israel. Khalil is currently detained in Louisiana, far from his home in New York. This distance complicates his legal defense, as it isolates him from support and resources. The case raises questions about the rights of green card holders and the government's authority under immigration law.
