LIVE | Columbia Activist Mahmoud Khalil's Lawyers React To Judge Ruling On Deportation | Palestine

Lawyers for Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil have condemned a U.S. immigration judge's April 11 ruling that cleared the way for his deportation, calling it a politically driven attack on free speech. Khalil, a Palestinian student and vocal supporter of Palestinian rights, was deemed eligible for removal based on his political beliefs, despite no criminal charges. His legal team argued the decision violates his First Amendment rights and reflects growing efforts to silence pro-Palestine voices. A separate federal case has temporarily paused his deportation, as his lawyers prepare to file for relief by April 23. #mahmoudkhalil #khalil #israelgazaconflict #worldnews n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
