"Disgraceful": Judge Refuses to Order Mahmoud Khalil's Release, Siding With DOJ
Briefly

Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestine activist, remains in detention despite his legal team's efforts for release. A federal judge declined to order his release following arguments from the Trump administration supporting continued imprisonment. Judge Michael Farbiarz acknowledged the government failed to prove its primary charge while leaving open the possibility of holding Khalil based on allegations of fraud linked to his green card application. The legal team's concerns over delay tactics emphasize the contentious nature of Khalil's case amidst broader protests.
"The government is using transparent delay tactics to continue detaining Khalil, his legal team said."
"U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz sided with the government's argument that it can continue holding Khalil based on a charge of fraud in his green card application."
