Trump plans to deport Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil

President Donald Trump announced plans to deport Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, claiming he is the first of many arrests targeting pro-terrorist activities at U.S. universities. Khalil, a legal permanent resident, was detained after his student visa was revoked. The Department of Homeland Security stated Khalil's activities aligned with Hamas, justifying his deportation under a recent executive order. Critics, including the ACLU, argue this action threatens free speech and could lead to broader suppression of dissent. Even some right-wing activists oppose Khalil's deportation, citing First Amendment concerns. Trump's administration has faced backlash for targeting individuals and organizations that criticize its policies, raising alarms about potential overreach.
