Lawyers for Mahmoud Khalil plan to seek deposition from Secretary of State Marco Rubio regarding his comments that Khalil's presence fosters antisemitism. Khalil, a Columbia alumni and pro-Palestinian demonstrator, has been detained for over a month, with his immigration hearing pending. His lawyers argue his detention lacks proper justification beyond Rubio's assertion, emphasizing Khalil's right to confront evidence against him, and they believe it is crucial to question Rubio to ensure due process in the matter.
Mr. Khalil's lawyers argued that his detention is unjustified and hinges solely on Secretary Rubio's assertion linking him to antisemitism, undermining due process.
They emphasized that Mr. Khalil has the right to confront evidence against him, which makes it critical to examine Secretary Rubio's testimony regarding his deportation.
