Trump Admin Can’t Detain Mahmoud Khalil on Foreign Policy Grounds, Judge Rules

Khalil has proven that his continued detention is causing irreparable harm to his career, family, and free speech rights, a judge rules.

A federal judge ruled on June 11 that President Donald Trump’s administration cannot use foreign policy interests to justify detaining Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student who played a leading role in the pro-Palestinian protests that rocked the school in 2024.

U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz granted Khalil an injunction against deportation or continued detention, ruling that Khalil had met the “irreparable harm” standard required to receive a federal court order in his favor. Farbiarz found that Khalil has proven that the federal government’s continued detention of him is causing such harm to his career, family, and free speech rights.
