Mahmoud Khalil: The Lawfare Circus Delayed, but the Show Must Go On
American Thinker ^ | 23 Mar, 2025 | Charlton Allen

Memo to law enforcement: Do your job, and let the activist lawyers rage on MSNBC while you enforce the law.

The activist lawyer playbook is well-worn, but we get a case study in legal acrobatics every so often—a perfect example of just how far they’ll go to manipulate the system and shield their radical clients from consequences. Enter Mahmoud Khalil’s attorney, who reportedly demanded by phone to see his arrest warrant before he was taken into custody—a move that was less about legal rights and more about buying time for a friendly judge to intervene.

ICE wasn’t playing along. When Khalil’s lawyer tried to dictate the terms of the arrest, the ICE agent didn’t debate or delay—he just hung up.

Imagine that—law enforcement is doing its job instead of entertaining the latest legal gimmick from an activist lawyer trying to run interference.

Legal Gymnastics: The Lawyer’s Stalling Tactic

Khalil’s legal team did what activist lawyers always do when their client is about to face the consequences: She unsuccessfully tried to stall the arrest with procedural theatrics.

According to his attorney, Amy Greer, she demanded to see a warrant before ICE could detain him—as if law enforcement needed her personal approval to do their job.

‘And the agent said they revoked that too,’ said Greer. The agent hung up when she said she needed to see a warrant before Khalil could be detained, according to Greer.

This is not how the legal system works—and Greer knows it. She wasn’t speaking to a judge or agency counsel; she was speaking to a law enforcement officer executing an arrest. ICE agents don’t debate arrests over the phone with activist attorneys. Their job is to enforce the law, not entertain real-time legal challenges from lawyers hoping to create a procedural roadblock.

A “graduate student” with a posh NY apartment, a team of lawyers, who may have been born in Syria but has an Algerian passport, who is connected to MI6 or is it the “foreign office”. This has nefarious stamped all over it. Who is this guy, really, and what is his real purpose in The United States, and why is he still here. I know, because his legal team is gumming up the deportation with the services of a purchased judge. And, just who is funding this legal team and guy? Qatar? The British? Hamas?

This guy acts more like a Station Chief and nothing like a “graduate student”. If only The United States had a functioning counter-intelligence service. Instead, we only have political hacks who run operations against their political opponents instead of cracking open foreign intelligence operations.

I am sure an investigation of her internet activity and finances would tell one hell of a story

Lee Harvey Oswald’s circumstances and connections were less suspicious than Khalil’s.

If you haven’t, you should listen to Shawn Ryan’s Intel briefs. He has had people in the know who are warning about the inside threats to this country.

Bury his ass in a spy’s grave.

The fact that he had an undisclosed security clearance from a foreign government means he was an unregistered agent, aka, a spy. As such he should be tried in a military coùrt.

He’s not an American; he shouldn’t have an attorney.

They should have put him on a plane in the middle of the night and shipped the fker off. But as usual the blonde bimbo and Kash dropped the ball! Biden was flying in invaders the middle of the night by the thousands upon thousands from around the globe. Bondi needs to get herself a set of brains! This really pisses me off! Swift action was needed with this terrorist! No advertisement no adulation they should’ve just put him on a plane and shipped him off silently! They know they’re kicking against the bricks when they start bringing them to these radical rogue imported judges! STUPID!

Excellent. That’s how you treat a harpy.

On March 8, 2025, immigration authorities arrested and
detained Khalil, a green card holder and the husband of a United States citizen, based on a determination by the Secretary of State of the United States that his “presence or activities in the United States . . . would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States.” 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(4)(C)(i)

the Court agrees with the Government that Khalil’s
Petition cannot be heard in this District and agrees with Khalil that it should be transferred to the District of New Jersey, not dismissed or transferred to the Western District of Louisiana. These conclusions flow from the undisputed fact that, at 4:40 a.m. on March 9, 2025, when Khalil’s lawyer filed the Petition on his behalf, he was detained in New Jersey. A straightforward application of the district-of-confinement and immediate-custodian rules therefore dictates that Khalil’s Petition should have been filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, not in this Court.
