LAST Friday, immigration judge Jamee Comans ruled in Louisiana that the Trump administration can deport Columbia University graduate and activist Mahmoud Khalil.
This decision was based solely on a short memo written by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in which he claims that Khalil’s presence “has potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences and would compromise a compelling US foreign policy interest.”
According to Rubio, the State Department’s claims regarding Khalil are “regarding the participation and roles of and Khalil in anti-semitic protests and disruptive activities, which fosters a hostile environment for Jewish students in the United States,” referring to his participation in the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University, in which students peacefully demonstrated on their campus last spring in an attempt push their administration to divest from Israeli genocide.
