Betar U.S., a far-right pro-Israel group that took credit for Mahmoud Khalil's arrest, a Palestinian U.S. resident, claimed it has "thousands of names" on a "deportation list" in President Donald Trump's possession.
The group is supporting the Trump administration in deporting international students who support Palestinians, including any students in the United States on visas and those that have obtained their Green Cards, like Khalil, the former Columbia University grad student who led the school's "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" in April 2024.
