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.
