Judge blocks Khalil's deportation in New York

foxnews.com

A federal judge in New York has temporarily blocked the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University student and activist, who was arrested by ICE agents. The judge's ruling allows Khalil to remain in the U.S. until a hearing on Wednesday. Khalil's lawyer argued that he was wrongfully detained, claiming he is a legal permanent resident, not a student visa holder as ICE stated. Politicians, including Rep. Rashida Tlaib, have defended Khalil, calling his arrest a violation of constitutional rights. The situation has drawn attention from various political figures, with Tlaib and New York Attorney General Letitia James expressing concerns over Khalil's treatment. President Trump, however, indicated that more arrests of similar activists may follow.
