Trump Administrative Judge Regulations cannot continue to withstand Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil

A Federal Jersey judge has issued a preliminary order which prohibits Trump’s administration from deporting or continuing to withstand pro-Palestinian activists at Columbia Mahmoud Khalil University.

In his decision issued on Wednesday, judge Michael Farbiarz forbade the government from trying to remove khalil based on the determination of State Secretary Marco Rubio that his sustainable presence in the country would lead to risk for foreign policy.

The judge still orders until 9:30 am Friday. Time to give Trump’s administration for about 40 hours to appeal before the decision before Khalil must be released, his lawyer said.

The preliminary order will apply after Khalil posted “nominal bonds in the amount of $ 1,” said the judge.

Khalil, a green card holder who married an American citizen, has been detained at the Louisiana detention facility since Ice agents caught him in the lobby of his apartment building in New York City on March 8.

In April, an immigration judge in Louisiana decided that Khalil was deported based on Rubio’s statement that his presence and ongoing actions in the country had a “consequence of adverse foreign policy.” The judge has not ordered the second indictment from the accusation of the Department of Domestic Security that Khalil arrested information about the Green Card Application.

But Farbiarz stated in his decision that the permanent permanent population, like Khalil, who was accused of making a wrong presentation in their application was “Almost never withdraw the delayed transfer.”

Lawyer Khalil called the judge’s decision to give their motion to the preliminary order as “a big victory.”

“We are relieved that the court documents what is clear to the world, namely that the arrest of the vengeful and unconstitutional government, the detention and deportation of Mahmoud for Palestinian activism which caused him and his family to be personally and professionally,” said Baher Azmy, Director of Law from the Center for Constitutional Rights, in one constitutional right, “said Baher Azmy.

Khalil’s wife, Dr. Noor Abdalla – who gave birth to their first child while Khalil had been detained – said he hoped he could experience his first father’s day at home with his family.

“Mahmoud must be released immediately and safely returned to New York to be with me and our newborn baby, Deen,” Abdalla said in a Wednesday statement. “True justice means that Mahmoud was never taken from us from the beginning, that there was no Palestinian father, from New York to Gaza, had to bear the painful separation from the prison wall like Mahmoud had.”

Officials from President Donald Trump’s administration said Khalil was arrested because of his support that was recognized against Hamas – the claims rejected by his legal team.

In a memo proposed in this case, Rubio wrote that Khalil had to be deported because of his alleged role in “antisemite protests and disturbing activities, which encouraged the hostile environment for Jewish students in the United States.”

During the trial last month at Louisiana, Khalil testified to support his case for asylum and to withstand the transfer to Algeria or Syria, where he was raised in the Palestinian refugee camp.

He repeatedly stated that the accusation of Trump’s government that he was a supporter of Hamas to target Israel in any country that could be deported. In Syria, he also said the remnants of the Assad regime and military factions in the country could target it or that it could be used as a “negotiating chip” in the negotiations between the new Syria government and other countries including the US including the US including the US

Ahead of the trial, Khalil’s lawyer handed over more than 600 pages of documents, declarations and expert analysis supporting their claims that he was not antisemite and that he could face torture and death if he was deported.
