US seeks deportation of Columbia student for alleged omissions on green card, citing activism ties.

The Trump administration is seeking to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student and pro-Palestinian activist, for allegedly omitting information on his green card application. Specifically, Khalil is accused of not disclosing his previous work at the British Embassy in Beirut and his membership in the UNRWA, an organization providing aid to Palestinian refugees. Khalil's lawyers argue that the justification for his deportation is weak and that he was targeted for his activism. Khalil has been detained since his arrest on March 8.
