White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday that former Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil is currently in the process of being deported for allegedly distributing “pro-Hamas propaganda flyers.” The Department of Homeland Security officials arrested Khalil on Saturday, making him the focal point of a government crackdown on alleged antisemitism by foreign citizens on college campuses.
While the exact reason for Khalil’s deportation remains unclear, Leavitt emphasized that the Secretary of State has the authority to revoke a green card or visa for individuals who are deemed to be acting against the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States.
This development has sparked a debate on the enforcement of immigration laws and the boundaries of free speech on college campuses. Khalil’s case is seen as a significant example of the government’s efforts to combat actions that go against the interests of the United States.
