An immigration judge ordered that Mahmoud Khalil, a leader in Columbia University's pro-Palestinian protests and a legal U.S. resident, be deported to Syria or Algeria, per court documents filed Wednesday.
The big picture: The judge found the former Columbia student who's been at the center of a protracted legal fight with the Trump administration that saw him spend over three months in immigration detention had failed to disclose certain information on his green card application, per the documents submitted by his lawyers, who indicated they'll appeal the ruling.
