A federal district judge on Wednesday said the Trump administration’s efforts to deport Mahmoud Khalil may be unconstitutional, but some conservative legal experts have not purchased it.
Halil is a pro-Palestinian anti-Israel activist who led the protests at Columbia University. An immigration judge recently said he could be deported, but District Judge Michael Farbeers of the New Jersey District said the order would likely be dismissed as “unconstitutional and ambiguous.” Still, Halil remains in custody.
“The district court held what we already knew: Secretary [of State Marco] It is likely that Rubio’s weaponization of immigration laws to punish Mahmoud and others like him is unconstitutional.” Halil’s lawyer He said after the judge’s verdict.

However, various conservative legal experts disagree with the judge.

“By declaring the immigration and nationality law as “unconstitutional and ambiguous,” Justice Fabiartz is rewriting the law rather than interpreting it. Citizenship is a privilege, in violation of the separation of power and in danger in the hands of the commander.
Hans von Spakowsky, a senior law fellow at the Heritage Foundation, said it was “a ridiculous, unworthy claim by a fraudulent federal judge,” and said that despite Khalil is a legal resident of the United States, he could still face consequences.
“Aliens do not have constitutional rights to be in the United States under federal immigration law. 8USC1227, aliens like Halil, including permanent resident aliens, can be removed if the aliens “support or support the activities of terrorists” or “support a terrorist organization.” Halil’s blatant support for Hamas, the designated terrorist organisation, will deport him immediately.
