Khalil ran afoul of US immigration law, not the First Amendment, and can legally be deported solely on national security grounds - regardless of if he actually broke any laws.

However - however - the Red-Green Alliance loves a martyr, and the Trump administration is giving them one.

I sincerely hope the government can produce evidence that definitively links Khalil either to a listed terrorist group or to blatantly illegal activity, to put to rest the notion that this is a First Amendment violation.

Think about the precedent this case sets - can you imagine a future Democratic administration denying entry to an Israeli immigrant due to prior IDF service, under the same national security grounds?
