REPORTER: There are laws on the book that make it a criminal offense to harbor illegal immigrants, like sanctuary state leaders have been doing. Do you think they should be prosecuted and possibly put in prison?
HOMAN: Absolutely. And hold tight on that one, because it's coming.

WOW. ICE essentially admits to having fraudulently obtained a criminal warrant against Columbia University for an "investigation" for "harboring" undocumented immigrants while seeking to arrest Yunseo Chung, who has a green card!
You can't "harbor" someone here legally!

Wow. This is the full document submitted by Rubio against Mr. Khalil invoking INA 237(a)(4)(C).
The standard in immigration court is extremely deferential; a judge must accept this so long as it is “facially reasonable and bona fide.” But this is so threadbare that it might not even satisfy that.
