Judge permits Trump administration to deport Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil

An immigration judge on Friday ruled that the Trump administration can deport Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil, a decision that comes a month after his arrest prompted national outrage and marked the start of the federal government’s broader crackdown on foreign students.

An immigration judge on Friday ruled that the Trump administration can deport Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil, a decision that comes a month after his arrest prompted national outrage and marked the start of the federal government’s broader crackdown on foreign students.

The Louisiana judge affirmed the Trump administration's argument that Khalil's beliefs threaten national security and justify his deportation.

“The court will sustain charge of removability," Judge Jamee Comans said.

Khalil, 30, has until April 23 to file for relief and can remain in the United States until then. A federal judge in New Jersey has temporarily barred Khalil’s deportation while he fights a similar challenge there.

Khalil addressed the court after the ruling.
