Palestinian Activist Mahmoud Khalil Appeals to US Supreme Court Over Deportation Case
Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil has appealed to the US Supreme Court to overturn a ruling that allows his re-arrest and deportation. Khalil, a lawful permanent resident and Columbia University graduate, was detained amid the Trump administration's efforts to deport noncitizens involved in pro-Palestinian activism. His lawyers argue that his detention punishes protected free speech under the First Amendment. A lower court order currently prevents his re-detention pending the Supreme Court's decision.
