Mahmoud Khalil calls for deportation to be halted in light of new evidence
✦ AI Brief
A former Columbia University student, targeted for deportation over his pro-Palestine advocacy, has called on an immigration appeals court to reopen and terminate his case. New evidence, including a report by The New York Times, suggests that the US government may have secretly engineered the outcome of his immigration case to make an example of him. His lawyers claim that apparent procedural abnormalities support the view that he has been unjustly targeted for his political views.
