Mahmoud Khalil Loses Appeal to Dismiss Deportation Case

Mahmoud Khalil Loses Appeal to Dismiss Deportation Case

Khalil’s deportation now falls under the federal court case.

An immigration appeals board denied anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil‘s request to dismiss his deportation case.

The decision means Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student, could be re-arrested and deported.

Khalil reached national news for staging the anti-Israel protests at the Ivy League school after October 7.

ICE detained Khalil in March 2025 after President Donald Trump cracked down on antisemitism among visa and green card holders.

The ACLU said the decisions “will be appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.”

“I am not surprised by this decision from the biased and politically motivated Board of Immigration Appeals,” Khalil responded. “I have committed no crime.”

*rolls eyes*

The decision also leaves Khalil out of options in the immigration court system.

Khalil’s deportation now falls under the federal court case.

Perhaps the wretched, vile and evil Islamofascist/Muslim supremacist couple currently occupying Gracie Mansion, in New York City, can invite their Jew-hating, fellow traveler Muslim supremacist over for another “middle finger” photo op luncheon, to commiserate over this decision.

Kick this ahole out already!!!

I thought federal courts were stripped of jurisdiction in these cases; that it was to remain and be final with the BIA.

“Knock knock!”

Deport, or Not to Deport . . .

Hmm . . . We need to be fair . . .

We should split the Khalil down the middle. Literally.

How precious. Mahmoud doesn’t understand the difference between being a guest and being a citizen.

    He wants to stay in this vile hotbed of infidels and filthy Jew lovers so badddd

    That’s not the issue. A visitor here has the exact same first amendment rights as a citizen. He had the constitutional right to organize and participate in pro-Hamas speech and peaceful protests, and therefore has a plausible case that his visa was cancelled because of that, which would make the cancellation unconstitutional. Now that his administrative remedies are exhausted he finally gets a chance to make his case to a court, and it’s anyone’s guess how that will go.

When I worked overseas, I stayed out of local politics. I did not seek involvement in politics. They were not my countries. I was a guest.

I therefore have no tolerance for foreigners who get involved in politics here in the US.

    That may have been your choice, but as a human being you had an inalienable right to the freedom of speech, whether or not the local laws protected it. The USA’s laws and constitution do protect the freedom of speech, and there is no reason why an alien visitor should not exercise it.

      PostLiberal in reply to Milhouse. | April 11, 2026 at 3:17 pm

      As an expatriate US citizen, had I gotten involved in local politics, I would have been condemned as a Gringo Yankee Imperialist trying to impose his views on “el pueblo (the people).”

      I recall seeing a video of an American interviewing people in the West Bank. A passerby who did not take kindly to views of West Bank people being disseminated throughout the world, forced the American to delete what he had recorded. (Back in the US, he was able to recover what he had deleted.)

      Seems to me that Khalil and friends want to claim rights in the US that they would deny to Americans overseas.
      Apparently Milhouse has no problem with that.

        Milhouse in reply to PostLiberal. | April 12, 2026 at 2:53 am

        You can condemn him all you like, but in no country that calls itself free would you suffer legal consequences for doing so, and that’s what we’re discussing here.

        Now in most such countries had you expressed the kind of views he has, in support of terrorism and genocide, you would have been punished for “hate speech”, because most so-called free countries aren’t really free, and their own citizens are also restricted from expressing such opinions. You wouldn’t be treated any worse than a citizen, but you’d be punished the same way a citizen would be.

        But the USA is about protecting everyone’s rights, even those who have vile opinions. If we don’t do that then we’re no longer the USA, and have no right or reason to exist.

        As you wrote this, JD Vance was in Hungary campaigning for Fidesz. What do you have to say about that?

    I just wish the foreign born couldn’t run for Congress. Most of these imported critters are horrible.

      Milhouse in reply to MAJack. | April 12, 2026 at 3:06 am

      Do you mean Ted Cruz? Bernie Moreno? Dan Crenshaw? Or do you mean Albert Gallatin, Alexander Hamilton, etc?

Just put this POS in an airfreight crate (airholes optional) and send him somewhere, not the US. Add his attys if he needs food

    “Scorecard, scorecard, You can’t tell the players fundamentalist Islamic terrorists without a scorecard.”

    Seriously. Who tf is this guy?

      henrybowman in reply to Suburban Farm Guy. | April 10, 2026 at 9:17 pm

      College troublemaker. Typically not enrolled.

      Legal permanent resident of the USA, married to a US citizen. Organized antisemitic pro-terrorist demonstrations at Columbia university, which occasionally turned violent, while carefully refraining himself from violence or from breaking any laws.

      Rubio unilaterally canceled his permanent resident status and ordered him deported. He claims that the reason for this cancellation was his constitutionally protected activities, which would make it unconstitutional.

      Until now he hasn’t been able to make his case in court because he had to exhaust his administrative remedies first; now that that has happened he finally gets to go to court.

    Ironclaw in reply to Frank G. | April 10, 2026 at 7:21 pm

    Syria is under new management, no reason not to send him there

Get out a-hole. Should never have been allowed an appeal.

    Milhouse in reply to Ironclaw. | April 11, 2026 at 8:33 am

    It’s his legal right. And now that the administrative process is finally over, he gets his day in court.

Who is paying for his defense???

Will this fool every be deported? Or will his appeals just wait out the Trump administration and he just stays here? I’m unfortunately betting on the later, as he clearly has a lot of powerful friends.

    CountMontyC in reply to schmuul. | April 10, 2026 at 10:48 pm

    I think it is more people who hate President Trump who are funding him in order to deny the Trump Administration a victory than anyone actually caring about Khalil.

    Milhouse in reply to schmuul. | April 11, 2026 at 8:32 am

    Now he finally gets to make his case to a court.

Be nice if feds and state leaders would accept that people like him pose a serious threat to free people everywhere. IF they succeed in significantly
harming the USA, far too many will say, “Why didn’t you stop this?”

We need some law changes NOW to cope with what we’re up against. Many of us know “nice” Muslims but will they stop the Muslims who want to destroy everyone else? THAT is their goal.

    Milhouse in reply to B. | April 11, 2026 at 8:31 am

    The constitution forbids any such law changes.

      gjgca in reply to Milhouse. | April 11, 2026 at 3:23 pm

      Is the following relevant? That is, to stopping those “who want to destroy everyone else?”

      Excludable aliens are defined under U.S. immigration law, particularly in 8 U.S.C. § 1182.

        Milhouse in reply to gjgca. | April 12, 2026 at 3:08 am

        The constitution forbids any law to “stop Moslems”. And it forbids any law that penalizes the expression of opinions that we don’t like. Which is all Khalil has done.

          isfoss in reply to Milhouse. | April 12, 2026 at 11:04 am

          Yeah, well there’s a limit, isn’t there. There needs to be a new law “Stop Muslims” then.

          Milhouse in reply to Milhouse. | April 13, 2026 at 4:13 am

          What part of “unconstitutional” is unclear to you? There can’t be such a law. Any law purporting to do so would automatically be invalid.

Aww. Let him move in with the Mamdani’s for the duration. They’ve got plenty of room. Gracie Mansion could officially become a refuge for the Islamo fascists. Another Mamdani “first.”

5th Circuit is not going to rule in his favor.
