[IsraelTimes] A federal judge instructs the Trump administration to detail the legal precedent for its plan to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist whose presence in the country the government alleges could harm US foreign policy interests.
District Court Judge Michael Farbiarz in Newark, New Jersey, orders the administration to supply a catalog of every case in which US officials have employed the law being used against Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student who was a leader in anti-Israel protests on campus.
The judge asks to know the specifics behind US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s determination of the risks posed by Khalil’s presence in the US. He gave the government until 9:30 a.m. ET tomorrow to respond.
Khalil was arrested in March at his apartment building in New York City in the presence of his wife, a US citizen. Khalil became a permanent US resident last year and has been detained without charges since his arrest.
The administration is seeking to deport Khalil under a section of immigration law that allows for the deportation of “an alien whose presence or activities in the United States the Secretary of State has reasonable ground to believe would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences.”

The three equal branches are only equal at the top. This has gotten out of control and Roberts has added gas to the fire. Lower court judges now believe they are equal to the president in policy, like a child, they toss their constitutional beliefs and stop a president. The supreme court is equal to a president . One congressman is not a president and one lower court judge is not a supreme court justice. This now vigalantism is going to drive the president into ignoring the lower courts and saying they will not honor the lower courts until the supreme court acts, meaning Roberts is now going to have to adjudicate EVERY immigration effort personally.

To be fair, Buttgig was able to fly to Europe to pick up some baby formula and a pack of cigs, and ended by explaining the destruction of the FSK Bridge was because of systemic White racism against American Blacks.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Marjorie Taylor Greene senses something anti-Trump is afoot in the GOP.
Marjorie Taylor Greene sees a schism in the Republican party, and it's not between her and President Donald Trump, she told the Daily Mail in a sit-down interview, it's among 'neocons' and conservatives.
The firebrand warned that congressional Republicans remain 'addicted to foreign wars' - despite the president running on a mandate to end America's involvement in conflicts overseas and bring peace to the world.
Greene sent shockwaves through Capitol Hill last week when she wrote on X: 'I represent the base and when I'm frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy.'
The Georgia congresswoman clarified her long post was not about the president but 'typical Republican leadership,' which, along with 'classic neocons,' she accused of co-opting the MAGA movement away from Trump.
Neocons are generally Republicans who advocate for U.S. intervention in global affairs, like the wars in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq and more.
'I'm not naming and names in particular, but everyone pretty much knows it's the same old, same old,' Greene said of the forces influencing the GOP. '[The] Classic neocon establishment in Washington. It's just an existence. It's a conglomerate.'
An obvious example of this, she argued, is the Senate's discontent with Ed Martin, Trump's nominee for U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.
The Trump nominee is currently opposed by Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and because of that Martin's bid may not pass. Greene, therefore, blames Tillis, among others, for obstructing Trump's agenda.
'We have problems in Congress,' she told the Daily Mail. '[Trump's] agenda is not being passed in Congress.'
The project is so dear to the president's heart that a poster of the name change has hung in the Oval Office and he had hats made with the new phrase.
'He literally keeps the map next to his desk,' Greene told the Daily Mail.
Though with some Republicans reportedly upset over the measure, Greene dared any GOP lawmaker to jump out of line and 'stand with Mexico.'
Overall, the congresswoman also vehemently warned against those advocating for foreign wars and status-quo Washington procedure, a prevailing wind forcing the president's White House wayward.
'The Republican establishment wants to do this like a speed bump,' Greene warned while leaning forward in her seat. 'They know that President Trump can't run again.'
'They would love to continue just steaming ahead in their same path, and try to get over him like a speed bump and keep going,' the Georgia congresswoman continued.
'And my voice is important to not allow that to happen,' she added.
The Georgian has been a MAGA ally for a decade and wrote for conservative online outlets before becoming a member of Congress three days before January 6, 2021.
Greene boasts one of the largest social media followings for any member of Congress on X, with a combined 6.3 million, 1 million on Instagram and over 500,000 on Facebook.
When Daily Mail asked Greene why she thinks the 'base' is displeased, she immediately pointed to one thing, the same reason highlighted in her post from the week prior: war.
'Washington, DC, has an addiction to foreign wars,' Greene told the Daily Mail. 'President Trump is on record for decades being against foreign wars, saying that we need world peace.'
Then she congratulated the president on striking a peace deal with the Houthis in Yemen, which have been bombing ships in the Red Sea, a critical shipping route.
'This is exactly one of the reasons why I've always supported the President is because he has worked for peace and stopping foreign wars,' the lawmaker said.
'However, we had been seeing people here in Washington pushing him towards one a war with Iran, which we do not want. American people don't want that. No one's no one's interested in a war Iran,' Greene stated.
She then dove into the Ukraine war, the U.S.'s war in Afghanistan and other conflicts that the country lost so much in, which she blamed on 'neocons.'
'That's why I said, if you're losing me and I'm angry at you and I'm frustrated ... You're losing the base.'
'And you can read all the comments, I'm right,' Greene claimed, adding the 'comments back me up.'
