Mahmoud Khalil was launched from the ICE facility three months after the detention Mahmoud Khalil
A graduate of Colombia University, Mahmoud Khalil, was released from the detention of American immigration, as he was detained for more than three months due to his activity against the Israeli war on Gaza.
Khalil, the most prominent students of students arrested by the Trump administration because of their pro -Palestinians activity, and their order still in detention, ordered his release by a federal judge on Friday afternoon from an ice facility in Gina, Louisiana, where he was detained shortly from the simple immigration factors that were arrested in early March.
Federal judge, Michael Varbarars, said during the session on Friday that Khalil is not the risk of flying, and “is not a threat to society.
“It is very unusual to seek the detention of the owner of the petition in view of the realistic record today,” Varbarars also said during the session.
Farabarars said that the government “is clearly not met” the standards of detention.
Later on Friday, Khalil was ordered to deliver his passport and green card to ice officials in Gina as part of his conditional launch. It also states that Khalil’s travel is limited to a handful of American states, including New York, such as Louisiana, Michigan and New Jersey to the appearance of the court.
A small handful of media organizations, including the guardian, was located outside the post -afternoon detention center where many employees began to leave for this day.
Judge Khalil’s order gave the deadline at 6.30 pm to hand over his travel documents before his release.
Khalil’s arrest was widespread as a dangerous escalation in the Trump administration campaign against protected speech through the first amendment to the United States Constitution. Khalil was not accused of a crime.
His detention was the first in a series of arrests of international activists, and his latest launch in a series of defeats of the administration, which promised to deport international supporters of the foreigners.
Three other students were arrested for similar reasons – Rümeysa öztürk, Badar Khan Suri and Mohsen Mahdawi He was released previously while immigration cases were suspended. A number of others voluntarily left the country after opening the deportation procedures against them; Another in hiding because she is fighting her case.
Farbaraz, of the New Arark Federal Court of Province, had previously found that the law called for the detention of Khalil – which is rarely used as a migration ruling that allows the Foreign Minister to order the deportation of anyone who had a negative impact on US foreign policy – unconstitutional.
Government officials accused Khalil of anti -Semitism and the supportive call, without providing any evidence. Jewish students and faculty members presented the court documents on behalf of Khalil, and quoted it last year on CNN, saying that “the liberation of the Palestinian people and the Jewish people are intertwined and go to a hand, and you cannot achieve it without the other.”
Farbaz ordered the release of Khalil in the case of the Federal Court, which was brought to the challenge of his detention. Its immigration issue will continue on a separate path. While the government has suffered from setbacks in the argument of foreign policy in multiple courts, it is likely to continue to say that its efforts to deport Khalil are also supported by alleged negligence in requesting his green card – the arguments he brought after several weeks of his detention for the first time, which refuted his lawyers.
Khalil is married to an American citizen, Nour Abdullah, who gave birth to his first child while her husband was detained. Khalil wrote to his newborn son, religion, last month in a letter published for the first time in the Guardian newspaper: “I fight for you, and every Palestinian child deserves his life safety, tenderness and freedom.” “One day I hope you will stand long, knowing that your father was not absent from indifference, but out of conviction.”
In a statement submitted by Khalil’s lawyers, Abdel said that she could “breathe a sigh of relief” after the verdict.
“We know that this ruling does not begin to address the injustice brought by the Trump administration to our family, and many others, but today we celebrate Mahmoud returning to New York to reunite with our small family.”
In response to the news that the judge ordered the release of Khalil on Friday, Amnesty International in the United States of America Celebrate the decision, and invited it “Delayed” and called on the Trump administration to “immediately comply with this system.”
