Overview

• On Sept. 12, Louisiana Immigration Judge Jamee Comans denied relief and found Khalil willfully misrepresented material facts on his green-card application.
• The decision cites alleged omissions about an UNRWA internship and involvement with Columbia University Apartheid Divest.
• Khalil’s lawyers say they have 30 days to appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals and intend to do so.
• A New Jersey federal injunction continues to bar detention or removal while his civil-rights and habeas case proceeds.
• Khalil denies wrongdoing and calls the case political retaliation, as the government’s earlier foreign-policy removal theory was blocked by the court in June.
