Khalil, 30, was the first international student arrested in recent weeks amid an unprecedented crackdown by federal immigration authorities.
A federal judge on Friday ruled that the Trump administration can deport Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil just a month after his arrest prompted national outrage and marked the start of the federal government’s broader crackdown on foreign students.
Khalil has until April 23 to file for relief.
In his ruling the judge said, “the court will sustain charge of removability.”
Which is a very good distinction, because I’ve heard people saying he had citizenship.
Americas constitution applies to everyone.
“Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech.”
There are no exceptions.
Well, those people are wrong but I’m not sure it’s that important of a distinction. Trump has openly said he is looking for a legal justification to do this to citizens soon.
If they deport permanent residents without due process, they can deport any citizen without due process. In some cases they already have.
