Another federal judge has ruled against the Trump administration, this time in a temporary order that forbids the deportation of a pro-Palestinian activist.
On Wednesday, Judge Michael Farbiarz issued a preliminary injunction against the Trump administration deporting and continuing to detain Mahmoud Khalil, who was previously a student at Columbia University. He stayed the decision until Friday to allow the administration time to file an appeal.
Rubio wrote in a memo that Khalil should be deported over his ‘antisemitic protests and disruptive activities, which fosters a hostile environment for Jewish students in the United States.’
Khalil was born in Syria and is married to a U.S. citizen. He was arrested by ICE agents on March 8 in the lobby of his apartment building in New York City
