ACLU Strongly Condemns Unlawful Arrest and Detention of Columbia Student Activist Mahmoud Khalil: aclu.org/press-releases…

In a document instructing Mahmoud Khalil to appear in immigration court for removal proceedings, the Homeland Security disclosed the basis for its effort to deport him. As was widely suspected, it is relying on a provision of the 1952 Immigration and Naturalization Act that says the
