A federal judge in New York has blocked any efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia university graduate and Palestinian activist who was arrested Saturday night until a conference Wednesday, according to court documents.
It’s unclear if he will appear in court on Wednesday.
“To preserve the Court’s jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States unless and until the Court orders otherwise,” the Monday filing said.
Khalil, who helped lead Columbia University’s student protest movement demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, was arrested Saturday night by federal immigration authorities who said they were acting on a State Department order to revoke his green card, according to his attorney.
Khalil’s arrest is the latest escalation by Trump – in what he calls, “the first arrest of many to come,”– to crack down on pro-Palestinian demonstrations on college campuses, and comes days after he vowed to deport foreign students and imprison “agitators” involved in “illegal protests.”

However, deportation of a foreign national convicted of a crime is CLEARLY, CLEARLY within POTUS plenary authority.
This judge should be ignored without comment and this terrorist deported forthwith.
Ignore and deport
Does it say who the judge is? I hate visiting CNN’s website.
Another super-President.
I guess the prick is allowed due process but he WILL be deported..becoming an American citizen is a PRIVILEGE not right..you come to this country, you abide by our laws, you come here and spew pro terrorist propaganda, call for the slaughter of Jews, call Oct 7th the happiest day of your life guess what your ass is GONE
Judge is Jesse M. Furman, an Obama appointee.
Agree 100%.
It’s very telling and predictable who the Left goes to the mat for. Every. Single. Time.
Redstate speculates that Khalil is no longer within the judge’s district and thus not in his purview.
A Small Claims court judge can override him.
You don’t think there are enough squishy Rs to turn it into a real impeachment?
Nadler, Schultz and other Jewish Dems say NOTHING when Jewish students are being spit on, threatened, etc on college campuses all over America, but THIS, this is the schmuck they all stand for
Or some of them think they are a little higher than God.
Saw a talk on the meaning of each of the Ten Commandments. “Thou Shalt Have No Gods Before Me” replaced what the ancients and even current atheists believe: the human mind can assess and decide upon everything based on science and personal beliefs and this was what God is supposed to be doing, not the humans. Notice they had workers pry the Ten Commandments off school buildings. Didn’t like the competition.
These judges think they are above all that and and rule the world.
Deported to the cener of the Atlantic Ocean from the back of a C130.
“becoming an American citizen”
He is here on a Green Card, i.e., not a citizen.
RE: I thought it prudent to keep the ammo dry.
Joe Biden: I agree. That’s why I never kept it in my shorts.
‘ I hope he rapes the Judge’s daughter, or his wife.’
Aren’t you just a swell person.
Better yet - rape the judge (although it looks like he may like it)
