A judge has ruled that the man can be deported
Mahmoud Khalil, a 30-year-old US citizen protesting against antisemitism, has been ordered to be deported by an immigration judge. Khalil’s presence in the United States would have “potentially serious adverse foreign consequences and would compromise a compelling US foreign policy interest”, the Department of Homeland Security said. Khalil is one of the three students arrested for protesting against antisemitism at Georgetown University.
