💨 Abstract

Judge Jesse Furman extended a temporary order preventing federal authorities from deporting a Columbia University student, Mahmoud Khalil, who was arrested for his pro-Palestinian activism. His lawyers argue his arrest was in retaliation for his free speech, while the government claims he should be tried in immigration court. The case could test the limits of free speech and support for groups labeled as terrorists.
