Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student and pro-Palestinian activist, faces deportation after federal agents arrested him under President Trump’s crackdown on foreign nationals linked to campus unrest. An immigration judge ruled Khalil’s presence threatens U.S. foreign policy, sparking outrage from left-wing media defending him as a “free speech martyr.”
ICE agents detained Khalil in March after Columbia accused him of organizing protests tied to anti-Israel groups. Despite his legal residency, the Trump administration flagged him as a national security risk. Critics say this proves colleges harbor radicals who undermine America’s allies while taxpayers fund their visas.
Khalil’s lawyers claim he’s being targeted for political speech, but court documents reveal social media posts glorifying Hamas’ October 7 attacks. Columbia initially suspended him over protest involvement but backtracked after pressure. The university’s weak response shows elite schools care more about woke agendas than protecting students from extremism.
President Trump slashed $400 million in funding to Columbia, declaring campuses must choose between federal dollars and coddling anti-American activists. Meanwhile, MSNBC hosts rage about “government overreach,” ignoring Khalil’s ties to groups calling for Israel’s destruction. Since when do American laws protect foreign radicals plotting against our allies?
The immigration judge confirmed Khalil’s deportation order, citing clear evidence he violated visa terms. While leftists cry “free speech,” real Americans know: If you side with terrorists, you forfeit the right to stay here. Khalil’s wife—a U.S. citizen—claims his arrest separations their family, but national security comes first.
Khalil’s supporters clashed with NYPD, proving these activists value chaos over the rule of law. The Trump administration refuses to let universities become breeding grounds for hatred. Deporting Khalil sends a message: America won’t tolerate foreign radicals abusing our generosity to spread violence and division.
Media elites paint Khalil as a victim, but silence Jewish students harassed by his protests. The same outlets that obsess over “Russian collusion” suddenly forget national security threats when it fits their anti-Trump narrative. Real journalists would ask why Columbia protects activists linked to Iran-backed movements.
Patriots stand with ICE enforcing the law. If Khalil loves Hamas so much, he should join them overseas—not exploit American freedoms to attack our values. The left’s hysterical defense of extremists reveals their true priorities: dismantling borders, empowering enemies, and putting radical ideology above safety.
