Here's some big news that slipped past us yesterday, among all the wailing and gnashing of teeth over Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air. Columbia University's premier pro-Hamas agitator, Mahmoud Khalil, has been ordered deported to either Syria or Algeria. This will be a sad day for the Senate Judiciary Democrats, who'd posted "Free Mahmoud Khalil" back in March, and to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who'd greeted Khalil at the airport in New Jersey after he'd been released from detention in Louisiana to cheers from supporters. Remember, this poor man missed the birth of his child because he was in custody.
On Wednesday, an immigration judge ordered Khalil deported to either Syria or Algeria, citing green card fraud.

A judge has just ruled that Mahmoud Khalil must be deported back to Syria or Algeria.
By deporting him back to the Middle East, we are quite literally bringing him home.

The New York Post reports:
Former Columbia graduate student and anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil will be deported to Syria or Algeria after a new ruling from an immigration judge in Louisiana found he purposefully committed fraud on a green card application, newly filed court documents revealed.
Immigration Judge Jamee Comans rejected three motions filed by Khalil’s lawyers on Sept. 12 — including one in which he sought approval for a waiver to remedy factual omissions on a green card application, which Comans ruled to be intentionally fraudulent.
Khalil neglected to disclose his involvement, association and participation with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) and Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) on his Form I-485, Comans ruled.
“The evidence shows the Respondent knew of the potential immigration consequences for his involvement in protests organized by varying organizations on campus, including CUAD,” the judge wrote in a ruling shared by Khalil’s lawyers.
Back in July, after his release from detention, Khalil had filed a $20 million lawsuit against the Trump administration, claiming he was falsely imprisoned, maliciously prosecuted, and smeared as an antisemite.

Send that man back to the lands where his allegiances and grudges lie. We’re sick of him trying to make his blood feuds ours.

#MahmoudKhalil - if you don’t support the country you live in, it’s best you live in the country you support. You wanted to trash this country that gave you an opportunity for an education, a better life, a safe ground and incredible opportunity….

Mahmoud Khalil belongs in the Middle East. Not America. He hates our country. He hates what Americans stand for.

GREAT NEWS - but we can't celebrate until that Hamas asshole is finally kicked out of our country

The prick is not laughing now but I think there are still legal matters pending so he will not be deported as quickly as we would like.

Yeah, we want to see his plane take off — no more delays.
What kind of send off will his buddy and promoter AOC give him. She should go with him
