Tue 8 Apr 2025 17.04 EDT“An immigration judge ruled on Tuesday that the Trump administration has until 5pm on Wednesday to present evidence as to why Mahmoud Khalil, the Palestinian activist and Columbia University graduate, should be deported. She said that if the evidence does not support deportation, she may rule on Friday on his release from immigration detention.”
The judge will furrow their brow, let out a guffaw, bang their gavel, and then give Trump 3 months to write a nice haiku about how sorry he is.
None of these headlines or judges have brought Mahmoud back and I’ve lost hope that they ever will.
