Nervana Mahmoud @Nervana_1 · 5h Good riddance Anti-Israel activist and former Columbia grad student Mahmoud Khalil is set to be deported to Algeria —- a country that has done nothing to the Palestinian cause except ranting about it. Appeals Court Clears Deportation of Pro-Palestinian Activist Mahmoud Khalil Last updated 27 minutes ago The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court's order on January 15, finding the judge lacked jurisdiction and sending Khalil's case back to immigration proceedings. DHS alleges he omitted UNRWA work—linked to Hamas—on his green card application, leading an immigration judge in September 2025 to approve deportation. Khalil denies supporting violence and sees his activism as Palestinian rights advocacy, while conservatives cheer the decision and critics call it free speech retaliation. He remains free pending rearrest as the case highlights immigration and protest tensions.
