Judge Rules Trump Can Deport Pro-Palestine Columbia Activist, Cites “Potentially Serious Foreign Policy Consequences”

It is not for any judge to babble stupidly about “foreign policy consequences”. The judge had one job: to determine the legal status of this Islamo-agitprop who violated his residence visa by leading violent protests against Israel & threatening Jewish students in institutions of higher learning.

The government had shown “clear and convincing evidence that he is removable.”

A top US immigration judge has ruled that the Trump administration can deport Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil under a decades-old federal statute.

Assistant Chief Immigration Judge Jamee Comans, who was appointed to her position in 2023 by the Biden DOJ, found that due to Khalil’s involvement in violent pro-Palestinian protests in the waning days of the Biden administration, his continued presence in the United States raised “potentially serious foreign policy consequences.”

The decision is the latest development in Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s efforts to deport Khalil under the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, which allows Rubio to deport noncitizens that pose a risk to the government’s foreign policy aims.

The Trump administration has canceled the visas of at least 147 foreign students due to their involvement in pro-Hamas demonstrations on American college campuses, according to the New York Times.
