Court Rule Clearing Way for Mahmoud Khalil Deportation
Mahmoud Khalil faces potential re-arrest and deportation after the 3rd USA Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court ruling on jurisdictional grounds.The court determined that a New Jersey federal judge lacked authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act, shifting the Palestinian activist's case back to immigration courts.Khalil was targeted for deportation following pro-Palestinian protests and alleged
Hamas alignment, though his attorneys warn of severe danger if he is sent to
Algeria or
Syria.
