DHS 'Diva' Kristi Noem has brutal two-word response to judgement on Mahmoud Khalil case

Washington D.C.: In an important immigration ruling Friday, a judge ruled that Mahmoud Khalil -- a leader of recent pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University -- could be deported.

The decision came after the Trump administration’s claim that a short memo written by the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, which stated Khalil’s “current or expected beliefs, statements or associations” were counter to foreign policy interests, is sufficient evidence to remove a lawful permanent resident from the US.

Judge Jamee Comans ruled that Rubio’s determination was “presumptive and sufficient evidence” and that she had no power to rule on concerns over free speech.

“There is no indication that Congress contemplated an immigration judge or even the attorney general overruling the secretary of state on matters of foreign policy,” Comans said.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem celebrated the ruling, stating, "When you advocate for violence, glorify terrorists who kill Americans, and harass Jews, you should not be in this country. Good riddance."

Former federal prosecutor Neema Romanny explained the legal basis for the decision, noting that under Section 237 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, green card holders can be removed if they are deemed harmful to US foreign policy. Khalil retains the right to appeal the ruling.
