U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman blocked the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and Columbia graduate, who ICE arrested for alleged ties to Hamas. The case has sparked controversy, with the left and some right-wing figures opposing his deportation. Liz Wheeler argues for deportation, citing concerns over national security and cultural preservation:
- His involvement in pro-Palestinian protests and the BDS movement.
- Khalil’s link to Columbia United Apartheid Divest (CUAD), a group calling for the “eradication of Western civilization,” as evidence of his anti-American stance.
