How did a green card application lead to deportation?
A US judge has ordered the deportation of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil. The ruling stems from Khalil's green card application. He is accused of misrepresenting facts on the form.
Khalil, a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights, faces deportation to either Syria or Algeria. This decision has sparked widespread condemnation from civil rights groups. Over 100 organizations have voiced their concern.
According to court documents, the judge cited inconsistencies in Khalil's responses. Khalil's legal team plans to challenge the ruling. They argue the decision sets a dangerous precedent for immigrant activists.
This case highlights the complexities of immigration law and its impact on marginalized communities. Future legal battles are expected as Khalil fights to remain in the United States.
