(Bloomberg) -- Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil failed to convince an immigration judge that he shouldn’t be deported for his anti-Israel activism because he was arrested without a warrant.
Khalil’s attorneys had urged the judge in Louisiana to release him after federal prosecutors acknowledged last week that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents lacked a warrant when they took him into custody on March 8 outside his student-housing apartment building in Manhattan.
But the judge, who isn’t identified in a court filing, ruled Friday that the “termination of removal proceedings is not an appropriate remedy for the harm” that Khalil alleged, according to a letter his lawyers wrote Monday to a federal judge in New Jersey handling a challenge to his detention.
The immigration judge also found that the Department of Homeland Security proved that Khalil “is removable as charged.” Earlier in the month, his deportation was ruled appropriate because his presence in the US harms the country’s foreign policy interests. The judge scheduled a May 22 in-person hearing with Khalil, who remains at a detention facility in Louisiana.
Justice Department lawyers argued in a filing that Khalil’s “warrantless” arrest was justified because ICE agents who approached him on the street thought he might try to flee after refusing to cooperate with them.
