The Trump administration is now accusing Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University graduate and protest leader who was detained this month, of having withheld information when he applied for permanent residency status.

There was this guy who started a company while he was here on a student visa which did not allow him to work off-campus, then left that off his citizenship form. Will he be deported to his native South Africa?
Thankfully our brave democratic leadership has signaled they will swallow whatever pretext the admin comes up with, because they also hate Palestinians
Even if this were true — and from a chronically lying administration there’s no reason to believe it is — the punishment for falsifying your I-485 application is not getting disappeared without recourse.
He was arrested and detained without charge, his detention was moved out of the jurisdiction where he was apprehended without properly notifying his counsel/wife, and was only documented in the database once the news reported.
This is a disappearance, they just failed to adequately disappear him.
I can agree that the government has too much leeway in cases such as these but no judge or lawyer seems to be arguing that he was disappeared. They have issues with the venue but those questions are making their way through the legal process. People that are disappeared don't get this luxury.
He was arrested without charge and taken to a prison without notifying anyone. His wife had to move heaven and earth to find him.
The fact that he was found doesn't mean that he was not purposefuly disappeared.
We almost managed to have a civil and non-personal argument, but you just had to call me a Zionist, as an insult, in the way that Trump calls Schumer a Palestinian, and to claim that all Zionists are against human and civil rights.
Just throwing stuff at the wall now. When did they find this out? Why didn’t they mention that during any of the previous 6 (?) hearings they have to date? And if they found it out recently, it cannot be the basis on which they deported him. Just a clown show by the government.
Fvck trimp! #DeportElon #FreeKhalil Khalil did nothing wrong and is here legally. Stop wasting our taxpayer money to distract us from your other crimes and recklessness you petty racist orange man
Trump lies. All the time. Every time. Why do you pretend his statements have any credibility at all? You are helping him if you do so, you complete assholes.
Ah yes, the classic weaponization of bureaucracy—when protesting gets you targeted, not heard. If speaking out makes you a threat, what does that say about those in power? Silencing dissent won’t stop the movement. It only makes it stronger. #FreeSpeech #Resist
Rewrite: The Trump administration is now accusing Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University graduate and protest leader who was detained this month, of having withheld information just like DOGE Elon Musk did when he applied for permanent residency status.
The Republican Party is the party of dumb & dirty, lead by a felon. Anyone still voting Republican should bow their heads in shame. Republicans have done more damage to America than any foreign actor or enemy nation, ever.
Can’t the same be said about Elon Musk? Those irregularities found in his immigration forms should equivalently be grounds for kicking him out of the country.
"...his constitutionally protected speech criticizing Israel and promoting Palestinian rights."
He was in the leadership of a group (CUAD) that praised and promoted a terrorist organization (Hamas) and their terrorist attack (Oct 7th) in which American citizens were killed and taken hostage.
These people continually make things up about everybody. It is now impossible to tell the truth from lies. I am going to say this administration lie 99% of the time and the other 1% they just don't tell the truth.
I don't agree with his stance but am OUTRAGED by the violations of his right to free speech. Making up excuses to deport him or vilifying him or others does not eliminate the reason he was targeted. If they are allowed to just grab people and make up reasons later, what protects any of us?
They will always use this chip and disgusting tactic of "revisiting" applications to justify changing people's status. They will do that to all immigrants, green card holders or citizens. They will call all liberals traitors and try to get us out of here or enjail us, they are coming for all of us.
Fill in the blank:
First they came for_____
And I said nothing
Then they came for ____
And I said nothing because it was not me
Then they came for me but there was no one to speak for me
Then they all went to El Salvador and they were forgotten.
It is odd. How blind Trumpist are. They just keep rolling out the lies never realizing that each lie cements our conviction that they cannot tell the truth. They just can't see it.
Targeting activists for exercising their rights is a dangerous tactic. Shouldn't everyone be able to protest without fear of immigration repercussions?

Everyone knows it.
His case is different from those deported to El Salvador under the Aliens Act but everyone is lumping everything together.
This is a disappearance, they just failed to adequately disappear him.
The fact that he was found doesn't mean that he was not purposefuly disappeared.
The modern “Republican” Party has no shame and will create whatever lies, disgusting narratives to rationalize their crimes
Does anyone expect anything else from this authoritarian wannabe regime?
This is not the normal behavior of a lawful state and you should say so.
