A Columbia University student, Mahmoud Khalil, could soon learn whether he will be deported from the U.S. after a judge ordered the Trump administration to provide evidence justifying the move by Wednesday, April 9. Khalil, detained last month, has not been formally charged with any crime but faces accusations of being a 'terrorist sympathizer' due to his participation in pro-Palestine protests on campus in 2023.
The case has sparked debates over free speech and immigration policies, with supporters calling the allegations baseless. Immigration officials have yet to disclose concrete evidence, leaving many questioning the grounds for deportation. *"This isn't just about me—it's about silencing dissent,"* Khalil reportedly told peers before his detention.
As the deadline looms, activists and legal experts are closely watching how the administration handles the case. Will free speech outweigh national security concerns? Stay tuned for updates.
