Except Khalil didn't do all that stuff you say. I've seen him in interview, and he was a basic protestor, and then there was the federal abduction and no evidence of anything at this time. The administration removed Jewish students claiming it was for their safety, but bear in mind there are a lot of Jewish students who are also pro-Palestine there. Explain that.

He was called the leader of these demonstrations. He spoke on campus with a bullhorn, I saw him, he promoted a terrorist group Hamas, he disrupted and helped shut down students ability to complete their semester of a college that costs 70,000 dollars a year. Someone that is privileged enough to be allowed a student visa, a green card, does not have constitutional rights to do all the things I just mentioned. There is a very narrow line by which they can be thrown out of this country. As I said a college campus is not a place for foreigners in a student visa to protest. Don’t we have enough brainwashed Americans? Let me also mention, as many here know, I’m not a person that is for what Israel did and is doing in Gaza. Much the opposite.
"he helped shut down students ability to complete their semester", I would see a place for a possible crime here, if I could see evidence of it. As I said, there are Jewish students participating in this, so it seems some things just wouldn't fly very well. As far as supporting Hamas... 1) They're resistance against a brutal and illegal occupier (since 1967), and 2) Like the Israeli defense minister said, "Hamas is an idea", and 3) people are labeling pro-Palestine as pro-Hamas, which doesn't leave any way to be pro-Palestine.
Visa came first. Did he dissemble on his Visa application? Seems like it. Grounds for removal. Plus the green card does not confer permanent status. It, too comes with conditions.
Marco Rubio is the person that had him picked up and he explained the cause for his expulsion, charges and reasons for his deportation will be made public.
And Rubio would do anything for AIPAC and Israel, which could lead to a skewed report of what he thinks Khalil has done. These protests appear to me to be so benign that I suspect this is skewing the allegations.
If there are never consequences for any ones behavior, ever,are we living in a country of laws? Or is this anarchy? It seems the left, and the ACLU wants to use the constitutional and the 1st amendment as a weapon but only when it suits their anti American agenda. Haven’t we been seeing them and the democrats destroying our country from within for long enough or it won’t be enough until this country is null and void?
People that live here on a green card can be deported for what they do. If they promote violence, terrorism, or even take part in a demonstration that closes a university or causes destruction to that university they can be removed. They live here because of the generosity we give, he should have realized that his actions can put that in jeopardy.
It gives a person rights to permanent living and working the US. And according to the law on this, he's got to be doing something in the name of the Smith Act (to be aligned with the destruction of govt), and which is illegal, so this is how it works. When the DHS says that he was involved in activities "aligned with Hamas", then they say they have a case. But I still have to say, we don't have a law-related record for his activities prior to this, and he's been there for awhile. He recently got his PhD there at Columbia.
Wrong again Even permanent green cards come with conditions including registering with selective service and following all law. Green cards obtained though marriage are only conditional and carry additional obligations. People are playing very loose with the facts.
Isn’t there a lot of skewed reports in America by which people went to jail with no charges!! Hard for me to feel sorry for a foreign man that lead demonstrations against the country he was a visitor in.
Mahmoud Khalil case summary based on court records:
- Khalil is a native of Syria but a citizen of Algeria.
- He entered the US on a student visa in December 2022.
- He obtained lawful permanent resident status in November 2024.
- Khalil was notified of removal intention and detained on the evening of March 8, 2025 in New York City.
- He was then booked in New Jersey overnight, on March 9, 2025, and kept there for the duration of the day.
- That same day, on March 9, 2025, Khalil’s attorney filed the a habeas petition in New York, not New Jersey.
- Courts require for the petition to be filed where the alien is being held at the time of the filing, in this case, New Jersey. Khalil's (many) lawyers filed in the wrong jurisdiction...
- Khalil was then transferred to Central Louisiana ICE Processing Facility in Jena, Louisiana on on March 10, 2025, and he remains detained at that facility today.
- The correct jurisdiction for this matter is Louisiana.
- The New York judge who issued the emergency order had no jurisdiction to do so.
And this: Columbia University announces “multi-year suspensions, temporary degree revocations, and expulsions” for those involved in the violent takeover of Hamilton Hall.
Amazing what nearly half a billion in lost funding can do when you fail to act the first time. Expensive lessons learned the hard way.
And like Judge Napalitano said, there aren't any charges. All we have is allegedly "acting in alignment with Hamas". This guy is so much more clean and benign than what Israel supporters want him to be, it stands to be a disastrously failed detention.
I think they have every right to protest against the genocide of the Palestinian people being conducted by Israel. I think this makes it a case of ideological divide, between the Trump admin and the protestors, and this makes the detention a clear violation of the first amendment.
All I am aware of at this point, after so many months of protests at Columbia, is that Apartheid Divest is demanding the school divest from Israeli interests. I don't have any paper trail of criminal acts, here. Khalil recently got his PhD at Columbia, and has been there all along.
The only basis I've seen so far for calling this criminal is to say that they are "aligned with Hamas (or terrorists)". You need to show me what's illegal, and you can't say pro-Palestine is terrorist. There is no violation of the Smith Act - there is no attempt to destroy the govt in that. Get back to showing us evidence of crimes committed, because if any such thing happens, then the authorities would be on it like flies on shi*.
if you don’t think that harassing and threatening Jewish students and keeping them from going to class simply because of their religion is criminal then I don’t know what to tell you because that doesn’t look like the America. I grew up in.
I need to see evidence of any claims like these. I know that there have been Jewish students with the pro-Palestine protectors. All I've seen is the school admin removing Jewish students claiming they were concerned about their safety. I still don't have evidence of them being attacked.
Interesting. Remember reading ultraorthodox Jews violently opposed to all things Israeli zionism, Hebrew for natl. language, etc. Doubt schumer fits that description so wonder how his knickers got twisted?
The people I saw looked like they were starved nearly to death. Unreal so your saying the women I saw ripped out of her car by her hair raped so the blood was running down her pants and stuffed into a SUV was pro Hamas. You just lost me Mark.
There is too much propaganda in this country, where Biden and Trump have both been staunchly pro-Israel. For example, in regards to claims of killing babies and conducting mass rapes on Oct 7, Israel does not possess a single shred of evidence of any of it. Not even a single rape. The NY Times piece was written by an Israeli (first news article in her life).
Watch Israeli hostages speak out against the Israeli propaganda:
October 7th did happen, to what extent I honestly don’t know. People were taken against their will, many were killed maybe by Israeli bombs, I don’t think they chose to be there. Look at America and how many citizens despise it. When I look at Israel I can’t believe how many Hewish politician hate Israel. I suppose that in every country, especially here where they are taught to not only hate America but hate themselves. It’s an amazing world we live in.
Good grief, their own propaganda films showed Hamas gleefully murdering and savaging civilians. Have you people lost your minds? Don't give these leftist buffoons an inch.
Israel is running a large prison population - 5 1/2 million people under its command, since 1967, and they're brutal about it. I mean in the 20 years before Oct 7, the IDF killed 20,000 Palestinians, and jailed, tortured and raped thousands of others, and subjected the general population to harsh living conditions and rampant collective punishment. Under their command, half the pop of Palestine would have died from starvation without intl assistance.
People in the region commonly want the apartheid regime to end, and for Palestine to be given its statehood back, which is currently being blocked, single-handedly, by the US on the UNSC. If not for the US, Palestine would be a state.
Perhaps you haven't had the chance to see the enormous amount of evidence of all manner of crimes being committed by Israel at the UN, such as at the ICJ, or UN investigators, or the Human Rights Council, or outside of that, the reports by Amnesty Intl or Human Rights Watch, where they saying Israel is conducting genocide.
And I listen to Israeli finance minister Smotrich 6 months ago saying "We can cut the pop of Gaza to half in 2 years", and then moving on to showing real estate development plans for northern Gaza, which is the actual objective.
They can't get their "statehood" back, because they never had it to begin with. Palistine was offered statehood at the same time as Israel, back in the 1940's, and they refused. And for the next several decades, they swore to destroy Israel. It's still happening. That doesn't mean Israel hasn't committed its own atrocities, but it does mean you don't know history.
Ok I get it it doesn’t give a guest on a “green card” the right to participate in a demonstration that shuts a prestigious American university down. He can do it, but he risks losing his “green card” and his privilege of living here. Joe Biden who would have had him for dinner in the White House isn’t president any longer. So you play with fire sometimes you get burnt. And maybe not, we will see. I know he got his girlfriend pregnant and now they’re separated, so I’m sure the American hating ACLU will use that as well.,,,
You seem pretty convinced that America and Israel are the same thing. And as I said, Biden and Trump have both been staunchly pro-Israel. I think if you've missed what I've said so far, then you're just going to keep missing it from here on out.
BTW I say senseless war, but I do look at what Israel has done to Gaza as a land grab. Wasn’t Gaza a very nice place when Israel handed it to the Palestinians? Did Hamas or the Palestinians shoot rockets into Israel?
No I don’t like how pro Israel Trump is, I don’t like that Israel has turned Gaza into rubble, but I don’t like what happened on October 7th either. I don’t like war in general especially senseless wars like the one in Gaza and the one in Ukraine. I believe to a point, if Trump was president neither one of these wars would have happened. Joe Biden’s weakness helped this to happen. But that’s my opinion.

His participation in protests as a student on a visa, by which the schools semester was shut down is cause for expulsion and deportation.
He isn't on a visa, he lives here and has a green card.
They too can be revoked. Not nearly enough are.
Visa came first. Did he dissemble on his Visa application? Seems like it. Grounds for removal. Plus the green card does not confer permanent status. It, too comes with conditions.

I imagine if I did what he did in Syria today I’d be hung by the neck, cut into pieces and fed to pigs
Maybe not pigs? Chickens?

Deporting a US citizen for protesting is illegal, and at this point, I doubt it's going to happen.
Who is the U.S. citizen? A green card doesn't give citizenship, so you can't possibly be talking about Mahmoud.

A green card holder is not an American citizen, he can apply for citizenship after 5 years, and with his tainted record now probably would be denied.
Isn’t there a lot of skewed reports in America by which people went to jail with no charges!! Hard for me to feel sorry for a foreign man that lead demonstrations against the country he was a visitor in.
That's not a demonstration against the US - it's against Israel.

Wrong. It was a jihad launched against American students at an American university in an American city. Based solely on their religion.
All I am aware of at this point, after so many months of protests at Columbia, is that Apartheid Divest is demanding the school divest from Israeli interests. I don't have any paper trail of criminal acts, here. Khalil recently got his PhD at Columbia, and has been there all along.

Chuck Schumer is pro Hamas that has nothing to do with the law.

Simple Trump hatred. Shuck Choomer is a moron.
The Israeli hostages that were released were pro-Hamas, and very thankful for the way they were treated - it's all on record now.
That's called Stockholm Syndrome. And that's on record, too.
