one especially harrowing detail: Khalil grew up in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria. the US is now trying to deport him back there, even though his family fled Syria in the aftermath of the country's civil war, according to his attorneys
www.theverge.com/policy/63012...
The students are pushing back. Thursday afternoon, eight Columbia and Barnard students asked a federal judge to stop the university from giving the government access to pro-Palestine protesters' disciplinary records, alleging that doing so would expose students to "public threats, hate speech, and physical danger" in retaliation for their advocacy. It's not just a hypothetical. Khalil, who is currently detained at an ICE facility in Louisiana, was among the students who filed the suit. On Friday, his legal team announced that they were filing an emergency bail motion in the Southern District of New York. Khalil, who is Palestinian, faces deportation to Syria depending on the outcome of his immigration case. Court filings note that aside from his permanent US residency - also known colloquially as a green card - he is effectively stateless: he grew up in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria, from which his family was later displaced by the civil war there. His relatives are now scattered throughout Europe and West Asia, his attorneys said. (While permanent residents are subject to deportation under certain circumstances — usually after being charged with a crime — Khalil's case is especially unusual in that it relies on an obscure McCarthy-era statute that has rarely been used to deport anyone.)
