Syrian green card holder faces deportation over protests

Mahmoud Khalil, a Syrian national and green card holder, faces potential deportation after his involvement in pro-Hamas protests at Columbia University. His actions have sparked debate about immigration and national sovereignty in the U.S. Khalil's supporters argue for his release, while critics emphasize that he violated the terms of his admission by supporting a designated terrorist organization. This situation highlights tensions surrounding immigration policy and the rights of noncitizens. The discussion around Khalil reflects broader ideological conflicts, including views on Western civilization and immigration. The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats have publicly called for his release, intensifying the national conversation on these issues.
