JENA, La. (AP) — Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil can be kicked out of the U.S. as a national security risk, an immigration judge in Louisiana found Friday during a hearing over the legality of deporting the activist who participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. The government’s contention that Khalil’s presence in the United States posed “potentially serious foreign policy consequences” was enough to satisfy requirements for his deportation, Immigration Judge Jamee E. Comans said at the conclusion of a hearing in Jena. Comans said the government had “established by clear and convincing evidence that he is removable.” Lawyers for Khalil...

A Louisiana immigration judge ruled Friday that activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported. Khalil, who as a Columbia University graduate student led pro-Palestinian protests there last year, was detained last month after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he had determined that Khalil's activism was antisemitic and that allowing him to remain in the country would undermine a U.S. foreign policy goal of combatting antisemitism around the world. During a hearing at the remote Louisiana detention center where Khalil is being held, Judge Jamee Comans said she had no authority to question Rubio's determination. After the ruling, Khalil told the...

A vast, ancient crater in the western United States may be home to one of the most significant mineral discoveries of the century. Published in the journal Science Advances, researchers have identified a geological formation beneath this site that could dramatically reshape the global landscape for clean energy technology. A Supervolcano’s Legacy Becomes a Resource Powerhouse The McDermitt Caldera, measuring 45 by 35 kilometers, was formed 16.4 million years ago following a catastrophic volcanic eruption. Over time, a lake developed inside the caldera, collecting thick layers of volcanic ash and mineral-rich sediments. These conditions gave rise to lithium-bearing clay minerals,...

A Ugandan judge has been found guilty of human trafficking and conspiracy to intimidate a victim in a case that has shocked observers. Lydia Mugambe, a High Court judge in Uganda and a UN judicial officer, was arrested under the Modern Slavery Act in the UK. Police footage showed her expressing disbelief as officers informed her of the charges. She insisted she had diplomatic immunity and denied any wrongdoing. During the trial, prosecutors argued that Mugambe had exploited a young Ugandan woman, misleading her about the purpose of her travel to the UK and subjecting her to unfair working conditions....

A United Nations judge and former fellow at Columbia University, Lydia Mugambe, was recently convicted for the human trafficking of a young woman. According to a report from the Thames Valley Police, Mugambe was 'convicted of immigration and modern slavery offences in Oxfordshire' on March 13.

Marina Medvin 🇺🇸 @MarinaMedvin: Why is Columbia covering for Muslim students who paint swastikas during anti-Israel disruption sessions on campus? How come the janitors is the first time we hear about it?

Over ties to Hamas terror. Hostage families file suit against Columbia protesters. Families of hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 file lawsuit against Mahmoud Khalil and several student groups, accuse them of "aiding and abetting Hamas' continuing acts of international terrorism".

A federal judge on Thursday temporarily barred Columbia University and Barnard College from complying with a Republican-led House committee's demand for student disciplinary records, at least until a hearing next week. The order comes as U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian prepares to review a request for a temporary restraining order filed by Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil and other students seeking to block the release of their records. Why It Matters Khalil, who was arrested and faces possible deportation over his role in campus protests against Israel, along with other students identified by pseudonyms, sued earlier this month to prevent...

The administration has moved to cut $400 million in federal funding to the university without changes to its policies and rules.Columbia University agreed on Friday to overhaul its protest policies, security practices and Middle Eastern studies department in a remarkable concession to the Trump administration, which has refused to consider restoring $400 million in federal funds without major changes. The agreement, which stunned and dismayed many members of the faculty, could signal a new stage in the administration’s escalating clash with elite colleges and universities. Harvard, Stanford, the University of Michigan and dozens of other schools face federal inquiries and...

3.21.25 Biased PBS News hour interviewed Christopher of Princeton University about Columbia U agreeing to push back on Antisemitism and changes on "research" regarding Israel-Palestine. He wrote in the Atlantic about "academic freedom.: Two main aspects were missing from the conversation: 1. Qatar [Hanas' hosts] bribing universities. 2. Anti freedom atmosphere by violent Arab "palestine" activists intimidating students and professors. (Asides from long record of neo-nazi propaganda pusher Joseph Massad methods).

A twisted anarchist how-to for wannabe violent anti-Israel agitators has been circulating among Columbia University students — offering a deeply disturbing step-by-step to sowing chaos and destruction. The chilling 14-page “underground manual” provides excruciatingly detailed tips to help commit destructive criminal acts, with advice such as always buy sledgehammers with cash and consider blocking a targeted building’s water or sewer pipes with concrete “for a messy surprise” — while taking a slew of steps to evade law enforcement. Some Jewish Columbia students recently spotted the sick guide on the notorious radical website Unity of Fields, formerly known as Palestine Action...

A New York federal judge has denied the Trump administration’s bid to dismiss the legal challenge brought by Mahmoud Khalil, the recent Columbia graduate and Palestinian activist who was detained by immigration enforcement agents earlier this month, and has ordered the case transferred to New Jersey. Khalil, a permanent US resident with a green card who helped lead Columbia University’s pro-Palestinian protests last spring, was arrested in New York on 8 March by federal immigration authorities. He was transferred first to New Jersey and then to Louisiana, where he is currently detained. The Trump administration sought his deportation but two...

The origin of the Obama administration’s investigation of imaginary Trump-Russia collusion remains murky, but this much is clear: John Brennan, Obama’s Trump-hating CIA director, stands at the center of it. Brennan pushed for a multi-agency investigation of the Trump campaign, using as his pretext alleged intelligence from an unnamed Baltic state. That “intelligence” was supplied at the very moment Baltic officials had their own political motivation to smear Trump. “Last April, the CIA director was shown intelligence that worried him. It was – allegedly – a tape recording of a conversation about money from the Kremlin going into the US...

What fresh hell is this? Why are American taxpayers funding this? Columbia has one of the largest international student and scholar populations in the US. Columbia University has 35,978 students enrolled ...: Columbia University has more than 23,000 international students and scholars from 162 countries

Columbia University is just the start of a long-brewing backlash. On Monday of this week the Trump administration's Department of Education put 60 schools on notice that they will lose federal funding if they don't do more to crack down on antisemitism on campus. “The Department is deeply disappointed that Jewish students studying on elite U.S. campuses continue to fear for their safety amid the relentless antisemitic eruptions that have severely disrupted campus life for more than a year. University leaders must do better,” said Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “U.S. colleges and universities benefit from enormous public investments funded...

An expulsion for Palestine is an honor, a sacrifice that pales in comparison to those of the Palestinian people,' Aidan Parisi wrote Thursday... Aidan Parisi, the son of a longtime State Department official who emerged last spring as a Columbia University encampment leader and is best known for owning an "emotional support rabbit," was among the students Columbia expelled for storming Hamilton Hall, he announced Thursday night. Parisi, a graduate student in Columbia’s School of Social Work, wrote on X that he was among the student activists expelled nearly a year after they stormed and occupied Hamilton Hall. Last spring,...

Columbia University’s radical protest leaders, including Khalil, aren’t just anti-Israel — they want America to fall and are taking steps to make it happen. Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats are demanding the release of Columbia University student and pro-Hamas protester Mahmoud Khalil. While House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) is accusing the Trump administration of “authoritarianism,” the Democrats are about to be embarrassed. Khalil is a leader of Columbia University Apartheid Divest, one of more than 150 pro-terrorism groups I identified in my comprehensive study for the Capital Research Center, “Marching Toward Violence: The Domestic Anti-Israeli Protest Movement.”...

**SNIP** "October 8, when I saw the protests in Times Square, and then I saw what was happening the next day on October 9, and at Harvard, where more than 30 student groups signed onto a letter blaming Israel on the attack on itself. And then we saw the same thing happen from campus after campus, from Columbia to NYU to Tulane to MIT, Cornell, Penn. It just felt like the world had lost its mind," she said. "The silence, the dismissal, the denial." "And so, by the end of October, I knew that I needed to document what was...
