US Court Orders Deportation of Pro-Palestinian Activist
An immigration judge has ruled that Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist, must be deported to either Syria or Algeria.
This is because of claims that he didn't fully disclose information on his green card application.
Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student and a key figure in pro-Palestinian protests, has been detained previously.
His lawyers plan to appeal the order, emphasizing that a federal court had previously ruled against immediate deportation.
Khalil believes the ruling is politically motivated.
He is married to a US citizen, and has a child.
The deportation stems from action taken by the Trump administration.
