A determination by Secy of #State #MarcoRubio is so far the #Trump admin’s sole justification for trying to deport #ColumbiaUniversity student #MahmoudKhalil, according to the first official government document detailing the civil charges he is facing that was obtained by WaPo.

#MahmoudKhalil’s lawyers appeared in federal court Wed morning, after filing papers urging a judge to release the student or return him to NY, days after #immigration agents arrested him at his apt & moved him to a detention center in Louisiana 1,300 miles away. The #Trump admin has said it will target *noncitizens* protesting the war between #Israel & #Hamas, which has led to campus protests across the US, while opponents say the govt is trampling on the #FirstAmendment right to #FreeSpeech.
#Trump WH ofcls said the #DHS, which oversees #ICE, investigated #MahmoudKhalil’s activities, but immigration officers provided no written evidence to support his deportation beyond #MarcoRubio’s determination. The doc, a notice to appear in #immigration court, says Khalil is a citizen of Algeria & has an #immigration court hearing later this month.

After arresting #MahmoudKhalil on Sat, #ICE supervisory special agent Moran in NY presented Khalil w/a notice to appear in a federal #immigration court inside a LA detention center.The notice said he could be deported based on §237(a)(4)(C)(i) of the Immigration & Nationality Act that says “the Secy of #State has reasonable ground to believe that your presence or activities in the #UnitedStates would have potentially serious adverse #ForeignPolicy consequences for the US.”Khalil refused to sign.
