Trump Administration Intensifies Case Against Mahmoud Khalil with New Allegations

The detained Columbia University student faces expanded claims of misrepresentation on his green card application as legal battles over free speech and immigration enforcement escalate.

• New allegations from the Trump administration claim Mahmoud Khalil failed to disclose past employment with UNRWA and the British Embassy in Beirut on his green card application.
• The government has argued that these omissions provide an independent basis for deportation, dismissing Khalil's First Amendment claims as irrelevant.
• Khalil's attorneys assert that the charges are retaliation for his leadership in pro-Palestinian protests, framing the case as an attack on constitutionally protected free speech.
• A federal judge has temporarily blocked Khalil's deportation as his legal team contests the government's claims and challenges the constitutionality of the case.
• This case is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to target foreign students and scholars involved in pro-Palestinian activism, citing national security and foreign policy concerns.
