Updated 6:58 PM EDT, May 28, 2025NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge said the Trump administration’s effort to deport Mahmoud Khalil because of his pro-Palestinian activism at Columbia University likely violates the Constitution.
In a lengthy order issued Wednesday, Judge Michael Farbiarz wrote the government’s primary justification for removing Khalil — that his beliefs may pose a threat to U.S. foreign policy — could open the door to vague and arbitrary enforcement.
In Khalil’s case, the government also said he withheld information from his residency application about his involvement in some organizations, including a United Nations agency that resettles Palestinian refugees and a Columbia protest group.
Can’t have none that free speech stuff. Makes people all uppity.
Yippy*
And are they planning on doing anything about that?
“Likely”? Isn’t it their job to judge whether something is or is not constitutional?
Person says thing that happened might not be not good but maybe should be not bad bad but they’re not sure maybe and Nazis for some reason how did we get here with a side of fascism to go please.
