💨 Abstract

A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration's attempt to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist and legal U.S. resident, was likely unconstitutional. However, Judge Michael Farbiarz did not release Khalil from jail due to an unaddressed charge related to his permanent residency application. Khalil was detained under a broad crackdown on student protesters, and his lawyers argue his detention violates free speech rights.
