John,
We need your urgent help to protect Mahmoud Khalil — a Palestinian activist, legal permanent U.S. resident, and father who is being targeted for his peaceful activism supporting Palestinian rights and protesting war on Columbia University’s campus.
A Louisiana immigration judge just ruled that Mahmoud should be deported to Syria or Algeria. This decision comes after ICE forcibly arrested and detained Mahmoud for months simply for exercising his freedom of speech.
The Trump administration is using a minor, alleged mistake on Mahmoud’s green card paperwork to make an example out of him and tear him away from his family.
Make no mistake: this is retaliation.
This ruling is part of a growing pattern of Trump targeting activists and weaponizing the courts to undermine our fundamental rights.
While another court has temporarily halted Mahmoud’s deportation as his case moves forward, the threat remains real — and this administration is doubling down on its dangerous crackdown on dissent.
We cannot stay silent. Deporting Mahmoud would send a chilling message to anyone who dares to protest or speak out in defense of justice.
Add your name now to our petition: Protect Mahmoud Khalil from deportation!
Thank you for standing with us,
Demand Justice PAC
