The Department of Justice (DOJ) will not release Mahmoud Khalil from detention, despite a court ruling prohibiting his detention based solely on Secretary of State Rubio’s assertion that his pro-Palestinian activism contravenes U.S. foreign policy. The DOJ cites the court’s failure to order unconditional release and maintains the right to detain Khalil on other grounds, specifically alleging fraud in his green card application. Khalil’s lawyers contend he meets the conditions for release and have requested his immediate freedom. The DOJ counters that Khalil should pursue release through standard immigration procedures.
