JENA, United States — An immigration judge ruled Friday that a pro-Palestinian student protester, a US permanent resident detained by the Trump administration, can be deported, his lawyer said.
Assistant Chief Immigration Judge Jamee Comans, based in the state of Louisiana, said the federal government had met its burden to prove it had grounds to deport Mahmoud Khalil, according to a statement by his attorney. 'Today, we saw our worst fears play out: Mahmoud was subject to a charade of due process, a flagrant violation of his right to a fair hearing, and a weaponization of immigration law to suppress dissent.
'I would like to quote what you said last time, that there's nothing that's more important to this court than due process rights and fundamental fairness. Clearly what we witnessed today, neither of these principles were present,' Khalil told the court according to his legal team. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted to X following the ruling that 'when you advocate for violence, glorify and support terrorists... and harass Jews... you should not be in this country.
