Hey there, news buffs! A striking immigration update comes from Columbia University where a student, Mahmoud Khalil, detained last month by immigration officials, now awaits a critical decision. A judge has set a deadline for the Trump administration to deliver evidence by Wednesday night, April 9, on why he should be deported.
While Mahmoud has not been charged with any crime, U.S. officials have accused him of being a terrorist sympathizer due to his participation in pro-Palestine protests on campus last year. This case stirs debate among students, professionals, and activists about freedom of expression and evolving immigration policies.
Stay tuned as this story unfolds – it's a reminder of how legal processes and civil rights spark important discussions across campuses and communities! 🔥✨
