Let's simplify this: If Mahmoud Khalil was a visa holder, he would be an obvious candidate for visa revocation and deportation. There would not be any question. He has been a key actor in campus violence, harassment, and property destruction. The groups he represents are open about their advocacy for terrorism and violence. They are also openly anti-American. He has himself openly expressed support for armed resistance. All of that should clearly be disqualifying for someone here on a visa. That's why it's silly to watch people try to frame him as a peaceful anti-war protestor and why Democrats portraying him as a hero will regret it. Because he seemingly recently obtained a Green Card, he is legally entitled to a greater level of legal protections than when he was a visa holder. The government will need to show that he is a national security risk or has committed some relevant crime in order to revoke his Green Card as part of a removal process. I have no idea if they can show that and neither do any of the other people commenting right now. He's entitled to due process despite his odious views and behavior, but a court should decide if the evidence supports removal. The Trump administration could have made things a lot easier on themselves in defending the general policy by focusing on visa holders, but here we are.
