Judge Orders Release of Pro-Palestinian Activist Khalil

Judge Orders Release of Pro-Palestinian Activist Khalil

A judge has ordered the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist, from immigration detention.

The judge said the government didn't have a good enough reason to keep him locked up.

Khalil was arrested after taking part in protests.

The government says he should be deported.

However, the judge said the government's actions might be against the Constitution, especially his right to free speech.

Khalil's immigration case is still ongoing even though he has been ordered to be released.

The judge will consider whether the government's actions in detaining Khalil violated his rights.
