Here are some fast facts on the arrest and planned deportation of US permanent resident Mahmoud Khalil:

Khalil isn’t accused of breaking any laws during pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University.
The government, however, says non-citizens who participate in such demonstrations should be expelled from the country for “anti-Semitic and pro-Hamas” views.
Khalil, a 30-year-old international affairs graduate student, served as a negotiator and spokesperson for student activists at Columbia who took over a campus lawn to protest Israel’s war on Gaza.
Khalil is not accused of participating in the occupation and wasn’t among people arrested in connection with the demonstrations.
The White House accused Khalil of “siding with terrorists” but has yet to cite any support for the claim.

The court’s decision to deport her husband “feels like a devastating blow to our family” but she pledged not to stop advocating for his return to the US.

“This ruling is an indictment of this country’s immigration system and does not reflect truth justice or the will of the American people. In less than a month, my husband and I will welcome our first child. Until we are reunited, I will not stop advocating for my husband’s safe return home.”Three killed, Israeli officer injured in southern Gaza

Mahmoud Khalil: A political prisoner for speaking out against genocide in Gaza
Mahmoud Khalil is removable, in the opinion of the judge, who said the letter Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent to the court, detailing the justifications for the removal, was reasonable.

His legal and support team say he’s a political prisoner for speaking out against genocide in Gaza.

The Department of Homeland Security has met its burden, said the judge. However, Khalil is open to a relief application on April 23, and there’s a discussion of whether he should be deported to Syria or Algeria.

We’re told Khalil was calm throughout the proceedings and he addressed the court. He said nothing is more important than due process and fundamental fairness, and neither principle was present at court.

Khalil added, “This is where the Trump administration sent me to this court, thousands of miles from my family.”
