Mahmoud Khalil, a legal U.S. resident and recent Columbia University graduate student, has not been charged with any crime.
Now this Louisiana Judge, U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz, wrote in a 106-page decision that he wants him to present further legal arguments for why he should be released.

That sounds the other way around to me; charge him first and present legal arguments why he is jailed ánd why he's transported to another state.

#ICE Admits They Didn't Have a Warrant When They Arrested #MahmoudKhalil

"ICE has admitted it detained Mahmoud illegally and without a warrant—to justify it, they are now flat out lying with an absurd claim that he tried to flee," said a staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights.

InstagramRefuse Fascism - Northern California on Instagram: "🚨 EMERGENCY! 🚨 Saturday, April 19, 2:00 PM at Union Square, San Francisco FREE KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA NOW! Join us at a rally and march with a unifying demand: The Trump Fascist Regime Must Go NOW! There is still time to stop fascism, but we must act now! In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America! Last week, the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration must take steps to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States. Kilmar is a legal U.S. resident, and several members of the Trump administration have admitted that he was wrongly and unlawfully deported. And yet, they are refusing to comply with the court and bring Garcia home. Trump also threatened US citizens when meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, saying: “The homegrowns are next... You gotta build about five more places. ...It's not big enough.” If Trump can defy the Supreme Court and get away with deporting and jailing innocent persons, this means that nobody will have any rights that the Trump fascist regime is bound to respect. This is a pivotal juncture in the consolidation of a Trump Fascist America. There is still time to stop this but only if we act now…in our thousands and millions…going into the streets and building to the point where through massive non-violent action we create a situation in which the Trump regime cannot govern and implement its fascist program or even maintain its hold on power. #bringkilmarhome #freekilmar #freemahmoudkhalil #refusefascism #fuckfascism #fdt ##bayareaprotest #sanfrancisco #trumpmustgo #antifascist #constitutionalcrisis #humanrights #handsoff #handsoff2025 #amerikkka #immigration #immigrantrights #nooneisillegal"147 likes, 2 comments - refusefascism.norcal on April 15, 2025: "🚨 EMERGENCY! 🚨 Saturday, April 19, 2:00 PM at Union Square, San Francisco FREE KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA NOW!

#Harvard professors sue #Trump administration over funding cut threats

by Katie Cole, April 14, 2025, #WBUR

"The Harvard chapter of the American Association of University Professors sued the Trump administration Friday over what they call an 'unlawful and unprecedented' attempt to use federal funding cuts to restrict #FreeSpeech.

"The #DepartmentOfEducation announced in late March that it would review $8.7 billion in federal grants and contacts given to Harvard, alleging that the school failed to prevent #antisemitic discrimination on campus.

"The Trump administration then unveiled a broad set of demands on April 4 the university must agree to in order to keep getting federal funding, including cutting all diversity, equity and inclusion programming, and modifying any programming and departments that 'fuel antisemitic harassment.' The administration gave Columbia University a similar set of demands in March, which the school agreed to.

"The lawsuit by the professors' group, filed in #Massachusetts federal court, alleges that the administration's federal funding review violates the #TitleVI of the #CivilRightsAct, which prohibits discrimination in programs that receive federal funds. The court filing says the law requires specific procedures to cut federal funds and that the Trump administration has not taken any of those steps.

"The group said in a press release that the administration's actions are in effort to create a chilling effect among universities and faculty to stop speech that the president does not like.

" 'Eliminating discrimination and protecting all students is important,' said Nikolas Bowie, a Harvard law professor and the secretary-treasurer of the school's #AAUP chapter, in a statement. 'But Trump is defying the Civil Rights Act, terrifying students, and illegally holding hostage grants for hospitals and scientific research so he can accomplish his real goal of punishing academics for our politics.'

"The lawsuit says that the actions by the administration have 'already caused severe and irreparable harm by halting #academic #research and #inquiry at Harvard.'

"This is the second suit that the Harvard AAUP chapter has filed against the Trump administration this year. The first was a joint suit with other chapters, including one from Columbia, over federal efforts to deport #MahmoudKhalil and students that engaged in #ProPalestinian #activism."

THIS IS BULLSHIT! (AND ILLEGAL!!!)

Pressed for evidence against #MahmoudKhalil, government cites its power to deport people for beliefs

By Jake Offenhartz, April 10, 2025

NEW YORK (AP) — "Facing a deadline from an immigration judge to turn over evidence for its attempted deportation of Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil, the federal government has instead submitted a brief memo, signed by Secretary of State #MarcoRubio, citing the Trump administration’s authority to expel #noncitizens whose presence in the country damages U.S. foreign policy interests.

"The two-page memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil, a legal permanent U.S. resident and graduate student who served as spokesperson for campus activists last year during large demonstrations against #Israel’s treatment of #Palestinians and the war in #Gaza.

"Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs.

"He said that while Khalil’s activities were 'otherwise lawful,' letting him remain in the country would undermine 'U.S. policy to combat #AntiSemitism [sez the folks who do the #Nazi salute] around the world and in the United States, in addition to efforts to protect Jewish students from harassment and violence in the United States.'

"'Condoning anti-Semitic conduct and disruptive protests in the United States would severely undermine that significant foreign policy objective,' Rubio wrote in the undated memo.

"The submission was filed Wednesday after Judge Jamee Comans ordered the government to produce its evidence against Khalil ahead of a hearing Friday on whether it can continue detaining him during immigration proceedings.

"Attorneys for Khalil said the memo proved the Trump administration was 'targeting Mahmoud’s #FreeSpeech rights about #Palestine.'

"'After a month of hiding the ball since Mahmoud’s late-night unjust arrest in New York and taking him away to a remote detention center in Louisiana, immigration authorities have finally admitted that they have no case whatsoever against him,' the attorneys, Marc Van Der Hout and Johnny Sinodis, said in a joint statement.

#Jewish #ColumbiaUniversityStudents Chain Themselves to #ColumbiaUniversity Fence to Protest #Khalil Detention

"As Jewish students, we grew up learning about the rise of #fascism, learning about how important it is to stand up when you see #injustice in the world," said one #protester.

by Julia Conley, Apr 02, 2025

"'We are here in protest of that to demand that the university tell us which trustees, which members of the university administration, are responsible for this so we can demand immediate consequences for them and hold them accountable for what they've done to our peer,' said the undergraduate student.

"Shea added that Jewish students were leading the protest because 'the attacks on our international students, on students of color, have been so fierce, so dangerous, so disproportionate that we are the only students who can be here right now taking this risk.'"
