Activists ask US Supreme Court to block deportation
Activist Mahmoud Khalil has asked the US Supreme Court to overturn a ruling allowing his re-arrest and deportation. Lawyers argue immigration law does not prevent challenges regarding protected speech.
Activist Mahmoud Khalil asked the United States Supreme Court on Monday to block his re-arrest and deportation by the administration of President Donald Trump. The appeal follows a federal court ruling that opened the door for immigration authorities to take the Columbia University graduate back into custody. The case tests whether the administration can penalize noncitizens for protected political speech.
