A U.S. immigration judge has ruled that the Trump administration can proceed with deporting Mahmoud Khalil, a 30-year-old Columbia University student and activist.
Khalil was the first international student arrested in a recent wave of immigration enforcement actions targeting campus protesters. His deportation is reportedly linked to his participation in pro-Palestine demonstrations, raising concerns about free speech and political expression. The ruling has sparked criticism from civil rights advocates who argue it sets a dangerous precedent.
The case highlights the intersection of immigration policy and political activism under the Trump administration.

I agree that it is important that foreign students are respectful of the U.S. We have freedom of speech but that doesn't mean you can run down a country that is providing so much benefit to you or to support publicly organizations that are against the U.S. and what we stand for.
This is what state repression looks like—punishing someone for standing up against genocide. The U.S. would rather deport students than confront its own complicity in Israel’s apartheid regime.
If you're here on a visa, you should follow our laws and respect our country—activism that stirs up trouble shouldn't be tolerated.

Because the first amendment doesn't only apply to U.S. Citizens.
Good riddance. If you're here on a visa, you should follow our laws and respect our country—plain and simple. We don't need foreign agitators stirring up hate at our universities on the taxpayer’s dime.
