Detained anti-Israel protester Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil’s attorneys criticize government’s case

The lawyers of the anti -Israel protester, Mahmoud Khalil, criticized a two -page letter from Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, saying that the entire case against its client depends on fragile allegations.

The message, which was presented in a migration court this week and published on Thursday, said that the Trump administration has the authority to expel non -citizens who destroy the country’s existence in the country.

The memorandum claims that Khalil, a student of graduate studies at the permanent University of Colombia in the United States and the University of Colombia, participated in the position of spokesman for the anti -Israel demonstrators during major demonstrations, in “anti -Semitic protests and sabotage activities.” His presence in the United States will be “serious, opposite consequences, and will present the convincing American foreign policy interest.”

Mahmoud Khalil blames “an anti -Palestinian racism” to arrest the first statement since the detention of the ice

“Two pages, that’s all,” Mark Van der Hot, a lawyer of Khalil, told reporters at a virtual press conference on Thursday. “However, this administration wants to silence Mahmoud, and wants to silence people who speak against the government of Israel or the United States government.”

The Trump administration is trying to deport Khalil on his activities at Ivi Lagi University last year. Jame Comans said that she will judge on Friday whether Khalil could be deported or if he should be released.

“I think that the biggest image here that we all need to focus on is that tomorrow’s hearing has important effects, whether the government can act in a violation of the constitution, and the deportation of someone, and it is in the forefront and the center, and our location is that he cannot. ”

“The government was trying to manipulate the rules of the jurisdiction to remove Mahmoud from the federal courts in New York, New Jersey and to the federal circle in Louisiana, where the law would be very favorable to the government.”

Azmi said that government lawyers are trying to say that the case in the Immigration Court, which “must largely accept what the Foreign Minister said about Mahmoud and largely postponed the conclusions of the executive authority about the fact that it represents a threat to foreign policy just because the Foreign Minister says without analysis or evidence.”
