Judges overturn ruling that freed pro-#Palestinian activist Mahmoud #Khalil
https://newjerseymonitor.com/2026/01/15/mahmoud-khalil-arrested-court-ruling/
A federal judge Thursday decried what he said were
“breathtaking” constitutional violations
by senior Trump administration officials
and called the president
an “authoritarian” who expects everyone in the executive branch to
“toe the line absolutely.”
In remarks laced with outrage and disbelief,
U.S. District Judge #William #Young said Donald Trump and top officials have a
“fearful approach”
to freedom of speech that would seek to
“exclude from participation everyone who doesn’t agree with them.”
Young, who was appointed to the federal bench by President Ronald Reagan,
leveled the searing critique during a hearing in Boston to determine the appropriate remedies for the administration’s ⚠️detentions of
pro-Palestinian students last year.
The judge had ruled in September that senior administration officials engaged in an 👉 illegal effort to arrest and deport noncitizen students based on their activism. On Thursday, he again denounced the administration’s conduct in unusually stark terms.
“Talking straight here,” he said.
“The big problem in this case is that the cabinet secretaries
and ostensibly,
the president of the United States,
are not honoring the First Amendment.”
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem
and Secretary of State Marco Rubio
engaged in an
“unconstitutional conspiracy”
to deprive people of their rights,
Young said.
“The secretary of state,” he noted,
his voice full of incredulity,
“the senior cabinet officer in our history involved in this.”
Spokespersons for the White House,
Noem and Rubio did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, last year called Young a “craven” judge who was “smearing and demonizing federal law enforcement.”
The government actions at the core of the case date to early March,
when the Trump administration launched a campaign to detain and deport noncitizen students at U.S. universities
who had been active in opposing Israel’s war in Gaza.
Though not accused of any crime,
those arrested spent weeks confined in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities,
at times hundreds of miles from where they lived,
before being released on bail.
The plaintiffs in the case are the American Association of University Professors
and the Middle East Studies Association.
The groups of scholars accused the administration of having an unconstitutional policy of deporting people based on their political views,
a policy intended to chill the free-speech rights of their members.
The trial last summer focused on the targeting of five noncitizen students and scholars: #Mahmoud #Khalil, #Yunseo #Chung and #Mohsen #Mahdawi, who were students at Columbia University;
#Rumeysa #Ozturk,
a graduate student at Tufts University;
and #Badar #Khan #Suri, a postdoctoral scholar at Georgetown University.
All were arrested except Chung,
who obtained a restraining order before ICE could find her.
The other four were released on the orders of federal judges,
but the Trump administration is still trying to deport them.
⭐️On Thursday, an appellate court in Philadelphia overturned a
Ruling lower-court ruling in Khalil’s case on jurisdictional grounds,
⛔️raising the possibility that he could be rearrested.
The president and other officials hailed last year’s detentions as part of a fight against "antisemitism", alleging without presenting evidence that the targeted students promoted violence or were pro-Hamas.

方大同信奉主张世界大同的巴哈伊教（旧称“大同教”），对他的人生观和创作理念有深远影响。在音乐创作路上一直传播大爱、团结与世界和平。并致力于透过音乐创作跨越文化，流派和语言，消除他认为不必要的一切分歧。[45]虽然方大同的外公不是巴哈伊信徒，但是很喜欢这种宗教的中心思想，故以此宗教为他命名[46]。
中国著名的巴哈伊信徒有清华大学第5任校长曹云祥、香港男歌手方大同（美国国籍）、SOHO中国的联合创始人潘石屹和张欣（美国国籍）。
此外，在澳门有一所以巴哈伊教义为基础的教育机构——联国学校。
下列原则经常被列举，作为对巴哈伊基本教义的简单总结。这些原则来源于阿博都巴哈在1912年游历欧洲和北美洲时发表的演说[15]。但该罗列并非唯一正式的版本，也有其他版本流传[15][16]。

États-Unis : une juge ordonne l’expulsion de l’étudiant propalestinien Mahmoud #Khalil https://mastodon.social/@la_voix/tagged/Khalil
Le leader du mouvement de contestation propalestinienne de l'Université #columbia à #newyork devra être expulsé des États-Unis vers l' #algerie ou à défaut vers la #syrie en raison d'une irrégularité dans sa demande de titre de séjour, a statué une juge de #Louisiane https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2193216/etats-unis-expulsion-etudiant-pro-palestinien-mahmoud-khalil
Louisiana judge orders Mahmoud #Khalil deported to Syria or Algeria~
The order came despite a separate New Jersey federal case order blocking deportation while that court decides if his detention/deportation are unlawful retaliation for his Palestinian advocacy.
The #trump admin now plans to deport Khalil based on their claims that “he failed to disclose all his past employment and membership in certain organizations” when applying for a green card.
