Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil faces deportation, which his attorneys argue could endanger his life. Detained since March, Khalil, who has been a pro-Palestinian activist, testified in court about his fears of persecution if returned to Syria or Algeria, emphasizing that he has only spent an hour with his newborn son. His legal team presented extensive evidence, including expert testimonies and letters from organizations like Amnesty International, asserting that deportation would pose serious risks to Khalil’s safety due to his political beliefs.
