Court gives Mahmoud Khalil more time to fight Trump administration’s efforts to deport him
The stay gives Mahmoud Khalil extra protection from re-arrest and deportation while he seeks Supreme Court review.
- On Tuesday, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals paused its deportation ruling against Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student, while he appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court.
- Khalil's detention last year stemmed from pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Columbia in spring 2024; the U.S. government argued his presence harmed foreign policy interests, but a New Jersey federal judge freed him after months in detention, citing constitutional violations.
- Khalil simultaneously pursues a separate appeal before the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Louisiana after immigration courts ruled against him; Brett Max Kaufman, senior counsel with the American Civil Liberties Union, said the group looks forward to asking the Supreme Court to make clear that the government cannot use the threat of detention and deportation to silence dissent.
- The stay shields Khalil from immediate deportation as his appeals continue, though the U.S. Department of Homeland Security declined to comment on the decision and the court required written notification if no timely Supreme Court petition is filed.
- An appeal to the Supreme Court is expected in the coming months, possibly in late summer, as the case raises significant constitutional questions about whether the government can use detention and deportation threats to silence dissent.
