Judge temporarily blocks effort to deport Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia student protests | CNN

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Columbia University confirmed in a statement Sunday there have been reports of ICE around campus and said the university “has and will continue to follow the law.”
44% : Khalil, who helped lead Columbia’s student protest movement demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, was arrested Saturday night by federal immigration authorities who said they were acting on a State Department order to revoke his green card, according to his attorney.
44% : Trump signed an executive order during his second week in office to “combat antisemitism” on college campuses – by potentially revoking visas and directing universities to “monitor” and “report” on international students and staff.
41% : “The Administration may also be relying on another provision that arguably allows ICE to deport someone when the ‘Secretary of State has reasonable ground to believe’ that the person’s presence or activities in the US present ‘serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States,’”
39% : John Sandweg, a former acting director of ICE, said in an email to CNN the use of a provision to deport a green card holder is rare, and often used with other immigration charges, “including that the person lied in their green card application and did not disclose ties to the terror organization.”
29% : His arrest is the latest escalation by Trump – in what he calls “the first arrest of many to come”– to crack down on pro-Palestinian demonstrations on college campuses, and comes days after he vowed to deport foreign students and imprison “agitators” involved in “illegal protests.”
27% : It also has imposed a siege and razed entire communities, rendering nearly 90% of the population displaced, according to the United Nations, and 100% food insecure, according to former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
