Politics Judge orders release of Columbia activist Mahmoud Khalil from ICE detention By Updated on: June 20, 2025 / 3:13 PM EDT / CBS News
A federal judge in New Jersey on Friday ordered that Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil must be released from detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement as his immigration proceedings play out.
During a hearing before U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz, Khalil's attorneys asked him to free Khalil from detention or transfer him to New Jersey. Farbiarz agreed, determining that Khalil is not a threat to the community, not a flight risk and that his detention has been "highly unusual."

Ignore and carry on!
Better yet…. Declare him a terrorist sympathizer…. Revoke his green card and send him home.
Tell the judge to GFY and carry on.
On ABC right now they are broadcasting family photos of him out and about enjoying life in the city.
Good to know our hard-working gang members have a little time off to enjoy the good things of life.
What a wonderful country he gets to live in (by the orders of a judge)
And of course the Trump Admin will meekly comply....again. Disgraceful.
That’s the thing.
ICE detained him because the State Department had ordered them to revoke his student visa. But he wasn’t on a student visa, he was a lawful permanent resident.
That, also, can be revoked, but there’s a process to it.
He’s legally here, and there are due process requirements that must be met. Ignoring them just because we don’t like what he’s said is not a great idea.
If one counts Kilmar as a meek comply, they then charged him with crimes that makes sure his family and politicians are going to have to visit him in prison instead of some hotel poor bar..
There are plenty of judges,right now, making it up as they go along…. Ignoring precedent, fabricating mandates, and making a mockery of the system. I see no problem with this being a two way street. Trump will never be percieved as having the higher ground, taking the high road…. Obeying “due process”…. All things he is currently doing without fail. He is still made out to be a fascist racist dictator…. Whats the difference at this point? Every time this happens its a win for the criminals. I personally am getting a little tired of these scumbags getting the W. This is the poster boy for the left. Nothing would break their hearts more than Allah Akbar here getting booted. Deal with the fallout and fight the good fight…. Imho.
All facilitating the invasion of the US by foreign illegal aliens are guilty of treason.
That includes these judges, democrats in congress and any other enablers.
Democrats are replacing US citizens and their votes with a foreign hoard that they intend to use as their new country and voting base.
They are using our hard earned money to do it with!
The Trump administration claims Khalil, who served as a spokesman for anti-Israel groups including Columbia University Apartheid Divest, engaged in activities “aligned to Hamas,” the Palestinian terror group.
Some students at the ceremony told The Post they felt Shipman’s shout-out of the former grad student — who helped organize on-campus protests where pro-Hamas literature was handed out — was inappropriate.
He was also a political affairs officer with UNRWA — the United Nations’ agency that supports Palestinian refugees, which Israel says have been infilatred by Hamas — from June through November 2023, according to his LinkedIn....
I believe now the thug is now in detention for knowingly lying on his immigration papers.
Interesting that he was working with UNRWA at the same tome as the Oct 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel where US citizens were murdered and taken hostage.
Let him out, let him lead US to his handlers, let him run his mouth about Israel while they have a 2-front war, and let’s see what happens...
“And of course the Trump Admin will meekly comply...”
**************
Entirely too deferential to rogue judges, which of course invites even more judicial usurpation and abuses.
Lying on his immigration application would certainly be grounds for revoking his green card. But detaining him requires a reason. What is it?
I think he’s out on the town already.
Hopefully it won’t be like other catch and releases, that end up costing more people’s lives.
The left wants him in particular out very badly- meanwhile they show no such interest in fighting tooth and nail for all the others, save that MS-13 guy.
There must be a reason he’s so “special” when hundreds of other deportees who would make better poster children for the cause aren’t championed at all or even named in the press. Either he does much more politically than has been revealed for the Democratic Party, is blood-related to someone with influence, or else he represents a great deal of money to the university from some secret lobbyist or donor, perhaps a Hamas-loving Qatari Prince or a hostile government’s intelligence agency that’s willing to pay the defense team.
...Khalil graduated with a master’s degree from Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs in December.
He was one of the main negotiators for students during the pro-Palestine campus encampment in the spring of 2024.
However, MEE has found that he previously worked as a programme manager at the Syria Office in the British embassy in Beirut from 2018 t0 2022.
Online records reviewed by MEE show that Khalil worked as a local manager for the Syria Chevening Program, a prestigious UK government international scholarship scheme, as well as for the Conflict, Stability, and Security Fund....
