‘Danger for the security of the country …’ Who is Mahmud Khalil, whose direction was approved by the US court – US court approves departation of mahmood khalil says he may pose a threat to national security ntc
A Immigration Judge from Louisiana, while delivering the verdict on Friday, said that Mahmood Khalil, a student of Columbia University, could be deported from the US, as her participation in pro -Palestine demonstrations on the university campus could threaten national security.
Immigration Judge Jamie E. Komans said that the US government has given clear and concrete evidence that the presence of Khalil in the country can potentially create serious foreign policy results, which fulfills the legal limit for expulsion.
Khalil’s legal team criticized this decision of the court and called the proceedings a violation of the correct process. His lawyer Mark Van Der Heut said that this hearing is a basis of appropriate process and is an example of immigration law, which is being made weapons to suppress disagreement.
This decision came after Khalil’s arrest by Federal Immigration Agents on 8 March. Khalil was arrested from the lobby of the apartment at his university.
Khalil is in the Immigration Detention Center
30 -year -old Khalil, legally American resident, is kept away from his legal team and wife at an immigration detention center in Jena, Louisana. Mahmud Khalil’s arrest was part of comprehensive action on Palestinian workers and students by President Donald Trump who joined anti -Israeli demonstrations and raising voice against the war in Gaza.
What did the foreign minister say
At the same time, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, citing a law to support Khalil’s exile, has said that this law gives them the right to remove people who can lead to potentially serious adverse foreign policy results for the United States.
The US government has indicated from its action that non-citizens who have been part of such demonstrations may have to face dehyptation, if their work comes in front of the administration as anti-Jewish or a supporter of Hamas.
Who is Mahmud Khalil
Mahmud Khalil is one of the leaders of Columbia U Apartheid Divest (CUAD). This is the group that opposes Israeli military action on Hamas in Gaza. The group also supported the fierce student movement in Bangladesh.
