Messed up
Judge rules #MahmoudKhalil can be deported
A #Louisiana #immigration judge ruled Fri that activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported.
Khalil, who as a #ColumbiaUniversity grad student led pro-#Palestinian protests last year, was detained last month after Secy of #State #MarcoRubio claimed he’d determined that Khalil's activism was *antisemitic* & allowing him to remain in the country would undermine #US #ForeignPolicy’s goal of combatting *antisemitism*

Pressed for evidence against Mahmoud Khalil, government cites its power to deport people for beliefs | AP News

> The U.S. government has submitted a two-page memo from Secretary of State Marco Rubio as its main evidence in its deportation case against #ColumbiaUniversity activist #MahmoudKhalil.
A #ConsentDecree, which can last for years, would give a federal judge responsibility for ensuring #ColumbiaUniversity changes its practices along lines laid out by #Trump’s admin. If such a decree is in place, #Columbia would have to comply with it. If a judge determines the #school is out of compliance, it could be held in contempt of court, punishable by penalties including fines.
No.
#Trump Wants to Install Federal Oversight of #ColumbiaUniversity
In an unusual move, the govt is aiming to legally bind the school to changes as they negotiate over federal #funding.
The Trump admin is planning to pursue a legal arrangement that would put #Columbia into a #ConsentDecree, an extraordinary step that could significantly escalate the pressure on the school as it battles for federal funding.

Columbia caved to Trump, sacrificing any decency and integrity it might have had, and thought that he would then leave them alone.
Ha. Ha. Ha.

#Trump admin lays out its *evidence* for deporting activist #MahmoudKhalil
https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25894225/dhs-documents-mahmoud-khalil.pdf
When pressed for evidence about why activist Mahmoud Khalil was arrested by #immigration authorities last month, #DHS shared a 2-pg letter from Secy of #State #MarcoRubio that accuses the #ColumbiaUniversity grad student of participating in "antisemitic protests & disruptive activities."
A new documentary, "The Encampments," takes viewers inside the protests across college campuses and public spaces. It features interviews with Mahmoud Khalil, now in a Louisiana detention center after being taken into custody by ICE, award-winning journalist Bisan Owda, and Grant Miner, who was expelled from Columbia University because of his participation in the occupation of a campus building. In its first limited-release weekend, it became the most-seen documentary in theaters. @TeenVogue spoke to co-director Kei Pritsker and student organizer Sueda Polat about why they made the film.
Update. "NIH freezes all research grants to Columbia University"
https://www.science.org/content/article/nih-freezes-all-research-grants-columbia-university
"Weeks after President Donald Trump’s administration ordered the U.S. National Institutes of Health to pull $250 million in biomedical research grants to #ColumbiaUniversity, the agency is freezing all remaining grant money owed to the university until further notice…#NIH will not only block new funding for the university, but also stop paying investigators working on all existing NIH projects."
