TRUMP WIN! Court Ordered Release of Mahmoud Khalil REVERSED! #1159

from The Andrew Branca Show

Yesterday foreign-born anti-American agitator Mahmoud Khalil received a well-deserved set-back from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which in a 2-1 vote reversed a lower district court ruling that ordered Khalil released from immigration detention while he sued to avoid deportation ordered by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.Khalil had for months been leading often-violent anti-American protests at Columbia University calling for the eradication of western civilization. During this period he transitioned his immigration status from student visa to preliminary “green card,” following his marriage to an American woman soon after his 2022 arrival in the US. Secretary Rubio, noting that America has no compelling reason to allow to remain in our nation foreign nationals advocating against America’s national interests, ordered Khaliil detained and deported.  That initial March 8, 2025 detention set off a series of detentions and releases and federal litigation that continues to this day.On June 20, 2025, federal district trial court Judge Michael E. Farbiarz ordered Khalil released from immigration detention, a decision appealed by the government. Yesterday’s Third Circuit ruling reverses that release order—though this change in status is paused for 45 days to allow Khalil to appeal to either the Third Circuit en banc or directly to the Supreme Court, so he will remain free during that period.
