Judge rules Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil can be deported

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

39% : This is a blatant violation of the First Amendment and a dangerous precedent for anyone who believes in free speech and political expression..." Last month, Secretary of State Marco Rubio determined that Khalil should be removed because his presence in the United States has "potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences," citing a 1952 law called the Immigration and Nationality Act, which the Louisiana judge said she lacked the authority to overrule. Khalil's case is a high-profile test of the Republican president's efforts to deport foreign pro-Palestinian students who are in the United States legally and, like Khalil, have not been charged with any crime.
