US judge orders deportation of activist Mahmoud Khalil to Syria or Algeria
An immigration judge in the United States has ordered that pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil, who played a leading role in protests last year against Israel’s war on Gaza at Columbia University, be deported to Algeria or Syria.
Court documents show that Louisiana immigration Judge Jamee Comans issued the ruling on September 12, accusing Khalil of failing to disclose key information when he applied and secured lawful permanent residency in the United States.
Khalil, a native of Syria and an Algerian citizen of Palestinian origin, has previously said he fears being targeted by Israel for his activism if he’s deported to either country.
Half of US public views Israel’s war on Gaza as ‘excessive’: Poll
A new poll by AP-NORC has found that US citizens across the board are increasingly critical of Israel’s war on Gaza.
According to the poll, 49 percent of Americans said they believe Israel has “gone too far” in its military action. Sharing that view are 71 percent of Democrats, 53 percent of Independents and 24 percent of Republicans.
This is a more negative view than a year ago, when 42 percent of Americans said Israel’s attack on Gaza had “gone too far”.
At the same time, Americans are more wary of President Trump’s handling of Israeli-Palestinian issues in general, with 60 percent disapproving, up from 54 percent in March 2025.
