Deporting Hamas Supporters Like Mahmoud Khalil Is Perfectly Legal
A green card is not synonymous with citizenship.

For noncitizens, residing in the United States is a coveted privilege, not a right. Progressives, however, have lost sight of this principle of immigration law—at least as applied to a zealous supporter of Hamas.

Former Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil is the first target of the Trump administration’s effort to crack down on law-breaking Hamas supporters on college campuses. The Syrian-born green-card recipient served as one of the ringleaders of the post-October 7 riots at his former university and functioned as the lead “negotiator” for the student group known as Columbia United Apartheid Divest (CUAD). CUAD was one of the primary agents of chaos on Columbia’s campus during last spring’s “encampment,” during which rioters smashed windows, defaced and occupied buildings, disrupted classes, and harassed and threatened Jewish students. Interestingly, recent court filings show that Khalil received his green cards just five months ago—long after he and CUAD wreaked havoc (and just eleven days after President Trump’s electoral win).

CUAD’s words are as anarchistic as its actions. The organization has identified itself as “fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization” and requested “instruction from militants in the Global South.” It insisted that members must “continue to escalate until the empire crumbles,” cited a violent takeover of a prison in Bangladesh by Islamists as a model of escalation, and noted that CUAD was inspired by the “Palestinian resistance”—that is, Hamas and other foreign terrorist organizations. The group has celebrated acts by domestic terrorists, including the attempted firebombing of a federal building in Oakland, California, by serial arsonist Casey Goonan, and threatened to shut down Columbia University.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I'll bet liberals can find a liberal judge who will disagree.

Who is paying this Islamo-fascist's bills while he's in the US and attending Columbia?  From where and from whom does he get his tution, room, board, meals, and book money?

Living in New York and while attending Columbia Univ. is expensive for Americans.  How did this former nomadic goat herder from a $h!th0le region get a student visa, enter the United States, and attend an Ivy League University that is out of reach for most Americans?  Who's been writing the checks to pay his bills?

What were his SAT/ACT scores?

Just deport this creep and be done with it.
Let the leftists and communists scream as loudly as they can.
Ignore them.

more important is how does he remain in a school funded dorm months after graduating from the school?

Smells like Columbia is funding him.

I say immediate deportation, no stinking judge, put them on a plane, and get rid of them already, and damn the stinking courts.

Although I agree, I say let him go thru the normal process so no precedent can be established. He might be a prime candidate for GTMO while he awaits due process.

haven't you heard?

He cannot go to Gitmo as they moved all deportees from there to Louisiana as the Gitmo tents lack air conditioning.

I say give them each a block of ice to sit on instead
