Columbia Anti-Israel Agitator Mahmoud Khalil Being Deported Over ‘pro-Hamas Propaganda Flyers,’ White House Says; Trump Border Czar Tom Homan Warns Columbia Anti-Israel Agitator is First ‘of many’ To Be Targeted

Columbia anti-Israel agitator Mahmoud Khalil being deported over ‘pro-Hamas propaganda flyers,’ White House says:

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed Tuesday that former Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil is in the process of being deported for allegedly circulating “pro-Hamas propaganda flyers.”

Khalil was arrested Saturday by Department of Homeland Security officials — becoming the poster boy of a crackdown on alleged antisemitism by foreign citizens on college campuses — though it was not immediately clear why he was selected as the initial target.

“The secretary of state has the right to revoke a green card or a visa for individuals who serve or are adversarial to the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States of America,” Leavitt said at her regular briefing.

“And Mahmoud Khalil was an individual who was given the privilege of coming to this country to study at one of our nation’s finest universities and colleges. And he took advantage of that opportunity, of that privilege by siding with terrorists, Hamas terrorists who have killed innocent men, women and children.”

She added: “This is an individual who organized group protests that not only disrupted college campus classes and harassed Jewish American students and made them feel unsafe on their own college campus, but also distributed pro-Hamas propaganda flyers with the logo of Hamas.” —>READ MORE HERE

Trump border czar Tom Homan warns Columbia anti-Israel agitator is first ‘of many’ to be targeted:

Border czar Tom Homan has warned that Columbia University anti-Israel protest ringleader Mahmoud Khalil will be the first “of many” legal green card holders to be nabbed and targeted for deportation if they abuse their rights.

Mahmoud Khalil, a Syrian-born Palestinian who received his graduate degree from the Ivy League school in December, is fighting deportation after he was detained over the weekend by federal immigration agents in the Big Apple.

The 30-year-old — who was a driving force behind many of the anti-Israel protests, building takeovers and encampments that have plagued Columbia for more than a year — had not been charged with any crimes tied to his activism prior to his arrest.

Still, Homan insisted Monday the feds “absolutely can” boot someone from the US — even if they are here legally — and vowed Khalil wouldn’t be the last to be locked up and potentially thrown out.

“That’s just one out of many,” Homan told Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.” on Monday of Khalil’s detainment.

“I mean, did he violate the terms of his visa? Did he violate the terms of his residency here, you know, committing crimes, attacking Israeli students, locking down buildings, destroying property?” Homan added.

“Absolutely, any resident alien who commits a crime is eligible for deportation.”

It comes after a federal judge in New York City on Monday ordered Khalil — who is holed up in an immigration jail in Louisiana — not be deported while the court weighed a legal challenge brought by his lawyers, alleging that ICE detained him illegally.
