The border of Donald Trump Tom Homan said that Mahmoud Khalil could be the first of many immigrants who can be deported despite the fact that they have green cards.
President Trump poured earlier on Monday about the arrest of Khalil and warned like -minded activists that it was “the first of many who came” while he started his massive deportation policy.
Since then a judge has stepped in to temporarily block the deportation of the 27-year-old pro-Palestine activist that led student protests at Columbia University.
Homan, who led Trump's agenda at the border with full force, said that 'absolutely we' can deport the will of Khalil.
“Has he violated the conditions of his visa? Did he violate the conditions of his stay here, do you know, committing crimes, attacking Israeli students, locking up buildings, destroying real estate? Absolutely, “he said Fox Business.
Khalil still has to be convicted of a crime, but Homan believes that he could be the first of many packaging sent.
“Every resident of Alien who commits a crime is eligible for deportation,” he said about anti-Israel protesters on American campuses.
“And that's just one in many,” Homan added.

Khalil was held on Saturday evening by ice officers – who said they had been ordered to withdraw his green card – for his pregnant wife.
But a federal judge Jesse Furman, from the southern district of New York, poured cold water on Monday on Trump's plan. Furman blocked the administration to deport Khalil to at least the next hearing on Wednesday.
The judicial order, seen by DailyMail.com, states: “To retain the jurisdiction of the court pending a decision on the petition, the submitter is not removed from the United States unless and until the court orders otherwise.”
Furman was nominated by the Southern District Court in 2011 by President Obama and was confirmed in February 2012.
Khalil, a Palestinian who was born and raised in Syria, helped protests against Israel at Columbia University in Leiden last year. He also acted as a negotiator between students and university officials.
The protests were allowed to walk unbridled for two weeks. They were characterized by violent attacks and cases of Jewish students who were afraid to go to class.
'On March 9, 2025, in support of the executive orders of President Trump, who prohibit anti -Semitism, and in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Arrestrest Mahmoud Khalil, a former university student of Columbia University. Khalil led activities in line with Hamas, a designated terrorist organization, “said the Ministry of Interior Security on X Sunday evening.
Trump said that the ice officers who arrested Khalil proudly did and described him as' a radical foreign pro-haamas student on the Campus of Columbia University.
Mahmoud Khalil, the main negotiator of students for the pro-Palestinian camp, was currently arrested by the Ministry of Interior Security.
'We know that there are more students in Columbia and other universities throughout the country who deal with pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump administration will not tolerate this.
'Many are not students, they are paid agitators. We will find, purchase and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country – to never return.
“If you support terrorism, including the slaughter of innocent men, women and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests, and you are not welcome here.”
In a direct warning at universities and colleges throughout the country, Trump said that they are expected to 'comply with' this decision.
Khalil, who graduated in December, is, according to federal data in the detention in an immigration -detention facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
Activists who lobby for the release of Khalil say that he was confronted in his apartment building at 8:30 pm by two normal clothing DHS agents, who both refused to identify themselves.
His wife, who is eight months pregnant and an American citizen, was reportedly there. The activists said she was threatened with arrest if she “stayed by his side.”
In the United States, immigration judges are the only people with the authority to withdraw permanent stay.
Land for withdrawing include your green card request or committing certain types of crimes.
According to a legal application, “Ice began to eliminate Mr. Khalil [New York] And at a detention facility of Louisiana a thousand miles away, without giving him access to his advice. '
“This apparent retaliation action is particularly disturbing,” said the submission.
The arrest of Khalil announces as Trump that he would cut $ 400 million in subsidies and contracts to Columbia for failure to control the Pro-Palestinian protests.
