US: Court blocks deportation of pro-Palestinian student from Columbia University

A federal judge in New York has ruled that pro-Palestinian Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil, who was arrested by immigration authorities on Saturday, will not be deported for the time being. According to a report on NBC, N.Y. District Judge Jesse Furman decided that Khalil will remain in the United States to "preserve the court's judicial authority." In addition, a hearing is scheduled for Wednesday on petitions to release him from detention. Khalil led anti-Israel protests on campus and President Donald Trump promised after his arrest that he was "the first of many to come."
