The U.S. government has submitted a two-page memo from Secretary of State Marco Rubio as its main evidence in its deportation case against Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil. The memo obtained by The Associated Press does not allege criminal conduct by Khalil but cites a legal provision that gives the government authority to deport people whose presence in the U.S. compromises a U.S. foreign policy interest. The submission was filed Wednesday in Louisiana immigration court after a judge there ordered the government to produce its evidence against Khalil. The judge said she plans to decide Friday whether it has enough evidence to continue detaining Khalil.

It's religiously motivated discrimination at the very least.
