It’s at the end up to the Secretary of State and Rubio already wrote a letter saying deport his ass so he’s gone

A district court judge in Hawaii or Seattle will instruct Rubio to release him and give him a cookie on the way out of jail.

Not as long as we’ve got foreign refugee “judges” pretending to be God and are abusing ever power they can think of.

Marco Rubio personally signed off on the arrest of Palestinian Columbia University student protest negotiator Mahmoud Khalil, using a narrow, little-used authority given to the secretary of state, per two sources within the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department.

The authority, a provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), reads: “An alien whose presence or activities in the United States the Secretary of State has reasonable ground to believe would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States is deportable.”

In other words, the provision – section 237(a)(4)(C)(i) of the act – gives the secretary of state power to deport any person who is not a citizen or national of the US, if they meet the threshold for "reasonable ground” of belief that they may have “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences” for the nation. Interestingly, the “quotas and ideological litmus test” of the INA, enacted in 1952, “were widely understood at the time to target Eastern European Jewish Holocaust survivors suspected of being Soviet agents,” the Jewish publication the Forward pointed out this week.

A State Department source, who spoke to Zeteo on the condition of anonymity, said that not only is the government using this justification to pursue Khalil, but that there are in fact “multiple targets” – a notion affirmed by another source familiar with the case, raising the question of whether Rubio will continue signing off on each case personally.

In a statement on Tuesday, Khalil’s wife Noor Abdalla – a US citizen who is eight months pregnant – referred to him as her “rock.”

“US immigration ripped my soul from me when they handcuffed my husband and forced him into an unmarked vehicle,” she said, while also noting his arrest came as the couple was returning from an iftar dinner, the meal Muslims eat during Ramadan to break their fast.

“Instead of putting together our nursery and washing baby clothes in anticipation of our first child, I am left sitting in our apartment, wondering when Mahmoud will get a chance to call me from a detention center,” said Abdalla, who was in attendance during Wednesday’s court hearing.

I love Trump’s new FAFO immigration policy !

I think deportation is the least thing to do and he should consider himself lucky if that’s all that happens. I’m reading now he’s a spy for the British. We should send him back in little pieces.

The DOJ already thwarted that by having him detained in Louisiana. The NY federal judge found out he didn’t have jurisdiction anymore.
