Baton Rouge, April 11 (RHC)-- A U.S. federal judge in Louisiana is set to rule on whether the Trump administration has grounds to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a permanent U.S. resident and Columbia University graduate who helped organize campus protests against Israel’s assault on Gaza.
Ahead of the ruling, Secretary of State Marco Rubio filed a brief, two-page memo conceding that Khalil has no criminal history and that the U.S. is seeking to deport him based purely on his beliefs.
