A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration's efforts to deport Columbia University pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, in part to protect U.S. foreign policy, is likely unconstitutional.
New Jersey District Judge Michael Farbiarz said that Khalil, who had a legally obtained green card to permanently reside in the United States, was “likely to succeed” in his claim that the administration’s determination that he is a threat to U.S. foreign policy is “unconstitutionally vague.”
