Lawyers representing former Columbia University student Mahmud Khalil have appealed to the US Board of Immigration Appeals to reopen and dismiss his deportation case. Khalil, who was targeted for deportation by the US government due to his pro-Palestinian activism, faces removal following a final deportation order issued one month earlier. The latest legal motion references new information, some of which has been reported in the media.
According to Khalil’s lawyers, the new evidence suggests that the Trump administration may have secretly influenced or arranged the outcome of his immigration case to make him an example. Khalil was first detained in March 2025 by immigration enforcement agents. He was among several student activists targeted after participating in pro-Palestinian and anti-Gaza war demonstrations that spread across US campuses the previous year.
The appeal seeks to suspend the deportation process while the new claims are reviewed by the immigration appeals court.
