A federal immigration judge ruled on Friday that pro-Hamas activist Mahmoud Khalil is deportable. That came just a day after supporters of the non-citizen celebrated, believing that the Trump administration had not offered sufficient evidence in the case.
Mr. Khalil’s lawyer is Marc Van Der Hout, an absolute legend in the field who’s been taking (and winning) high profile cases since the 1980s. I imagine he’s pretty happy to see that this is all they’ve got.

I guess Marc Van Der Hout isn’t the cheat card people thought he was. Khalil now has until April 23rd to file for relief in the case, and this ruling marks a significant win for Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s asserted authority to remove visa holders and other non-citizens for openly supporting terrorism.
