Protests continue over the immigration arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a recent Columbia University graduate and green card holder who the Trump administration is trying to deport over his role in campus pro-Palestine protests.
The White House has said that Khalil, who is not formally accused of breaking any laws, is deportable because a rarely used portion of the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act lets the Secretary of State deport people deemed to risk “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States.”
