Palestinian activist's arrest raises deportation concerns in U.S
kcra.com —
The arrest of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil by ICE has raised concerns about the deportation protections for foreign students and green card holders in the U.S. Khalil is currently detained in Louisiana, awaiting immigration court proceedings. Khalil's arrest is linked to his involvement in protests at Columbia University. While he has not been charged with any crime, officials suggest he may be deported on terrorism grounds due to his activism. Khalil's lawyers have filed a lawsuit against his detention, and a federal judge has ordered that he not be deported while the case is reviewed. A hearing is set for Wednesday.
