In this Just the News article, Mahmoud Khalil’s attorneys say they will ask the Supreme Court to stop the Trump administration from deporting him after a federal appeals court declined to intervene.
- Khalil’s legal team said it plans to seek an immediate stay to prevent his removal from the United States while it petitions the Supreme Court.
- The request follows a split 6-5 decision by the Philadelphia-based 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals not to take up his appeal.
- That decision allowed an earlier ruling to stand, which found that a federal judge lacked authority to weigh in on the lawfulness of a migrant’s detention.
- Khalil’s attorney Brett Kaufman framed the case as a constitutional free-speech issue, arguing that federal courts must be able to intervene when immigration enforcement is allegedly used to punish protected speech.
- Kaufman warned that if the Trump administration can target Khalil over speech, it could do the same to others who express opinions the government dislikes.
- Khalil, born in Syria, helped organize a Columbia University student encampment tied to anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian activism during protests over the war in Gaza.
- The article notes that Columbia’s encampment saw multiple disturbances as activists staged anti-Israel events throughout the year.
- Khalil’s case is one of several high-profile deportation fights that have drawn national attention during the Trump administration.
