Judge extends deportation ban for pro-Palestinian student
A U.S. judge has extended a ban on the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student. This decision follows a temporary order issued earlier in the week. Khalil's case has gained attention amid the Trump administration's pledge to deport some pro-Palestinian activists. The judge is reviewing whether Khalil's arrest was unconstitutional. The Department of Homeland Security claims Khalil, 30, can be deported under a provision related to foreign policy. The judge's extension allows more time for consideration of the case.
