Following Mahmoud Khalil鈥檚 historic release on June 20, 2025, his legal team today filed a preliminary injunction motion challenging the government's attempts to detain and deport him based on a second immigration charge regarding alleged misrepresentations on his green card application as unconstitutional. The new motion argues that the government鈥檚 post-hoc charge, which it levied one week after Mr. Khalil filed his habeas petition, was retaliatory and violated Mr. Khalil鈥檚 First Amendment and Fifth Amendment due process rights. This action follows a couple significant rulings in June. First, the Court held that the original charges the government brought against Mr. Khalil 鈥� the 鈥渇oreign policy ground鈥� 鈥� were likely unconstitutional and blocked his detention on that basis. The government then shifted its justification for detention to the post-hoc charges. The following week, Judge Michael E. Farbiarz ordered Mr. Khalil's release, emphasizing that detention on such charges is extremely rare and affirming that he posed no danger or threat to the public. (The government has appealed both rulings, and is seeking to pause the release order in the appellate court.) The court has not yet formally blocked the second misrepresentation charge, as the motion now asks the court to do. Mr. Khalil, who the Trump administration detained for his speech in support of Palestinian rights, suffered in a remote detention facility in Jena, Louisiana for over three months 鈥� more than 1,400 miles from his legal team, wife, and newborn son. Before the government issued these late-filed allegations against Mr. Khalil, their immigration case rested entirely on Secretary of State Marco Rubio鈥檚 foreign policy 鈥渄etermination,鈥� which the federal court has now blocked. Below are quotes from Mr. Khalil鈥檚 legal team: 鈥淭he Trump administration鈥檚 baseless, after-the-fact charges against Mahmoud Khalil are nothing more than further retaliation for his outspoken advocacy for Palestinian human rights,鈥� said Amy Belsher, Director of Immigrants鈥� Rights Litigation at the NYCLU. 鈥淭hese flimsy accusations only reveal the targeted nature of his arrest and the ongoing attempts to silence and remove him. It鈥檚 past time the government gave up its unlawful attacks on Mahmoud and his family.鈥� 鈥淭he government has gone to extraordinary and outrageous lengths in its attempt to silence Mahmoud Khalil, including leveling unsubstantiated and retaliatory charges against him,鈥� said Liza Weisberg, 吃瓜直播-NJ Senior Staff Attorney. 鈥淲e will continue to defend Mr. Khalil鈥檚 freedom as he is targeted for his advocacy in support of Palestinian rights, and we are confident he will ultimately prevail." "The government is using these trumped up charges to continue punishing Mahmoud Khalil for his political beliefs," said Brian Hauss, senior staff attorney with the 吃瓜直播's Speech, Privacy & Technology Project. "This is textbook retaliation. The First Amendment squarely prohibits the government from abusing its powers to suppress dissent." Mr. Khalil is represented by Dratel & Lewis, the Center for Constitutional Rights, CLEAR, Van Der Hout LLP, Washington Square Legal Services, the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU), the 吃瓜直播 of New Jersey, the 吃瓜直播 of Louisiana, and the 吃瓜直播 (吃瓜直播).

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals today rejected the Trump administration鈥檚 request for a stay of a lower court鈥檚 decision to release Dr. Badar Khan Suri from detention on bail. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested him on March 17th in retaliation for constitutionally protected speech and association, and he spent eight weeks in detention, mostly in Texas. Upon his release in May, he returned home to his wife and three children in Virginia, where his lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of his arrest is proceeding. 鈥淚 am grateful for my freedom and for the time I have to spend with my family. I have faith that the American judiciary will protect my constitutional rights,鈥� said Dr. Badar Khan Suri. The Trump administration both appealed the ruling and sought a stay, which, if granted, would have allowed ICE to re-detain Dr. Khan Suri. With this decision, he will now remain free pending the Fourth Circuit鈥檚 consideration of the appeal. The government鈥檚 opening brief is due on July 14. 鈥淭he Trump administration is trying to silence speech it doesn鈥檛 agree with by targeting people like Dr. Khan Suri and Mahmoud Khalil, but ideas are not illegal,鈥� said Mary Bauer, executive director of the 吃瓜直播 of Virginia. 鈥淎mericans don鈥檛 want to live in a country where the federal government 鈥榙isappears鈥� people whose views it doesn鈥檛 like. The First Amendment protects all of us 鈥� regardless of citizenship 鈥� from being punished by the government for our political speech.鈥� Dr. Khan Suri, an Indian national, is a visa holder whose wife and children are U.S. citizens. Prior to his arrest, Dr. Khan Suri and his wife, who is Palestinian American, were doxxed by groups that target advocates for Palestinian rights. Agents abducted Dr. Khan Suri outside his home because of his speech in support of Palestinian rights and his family ties to Gaza, then secretly transported him 1,500 miles away from his family and his attorneys, moving him between five different ICE facilities in three states in four days. 鈥淭he Fourth Circuit has prevented the government from re-detaining Dr. Khan Suri, recognizing what is at stake here: Dr. Khan Suri鈥檚 right to stand in solidarity with Palestinians, his continued freedom from punitive and retaliatory incarceration, and his freedom to be with his family and community,鈥� said Astha Sharma Pokharel, staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights. He is challenging his arrest and detention under the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and the Administrative Procedure Act. Separately, his immigration case, in which the Trump administration is seeking to deport him, is now also proceeding in Virginia. 鈥淭he appeals court has rightly denied the government鈥檚 desperate and cruel attempt to re-detain Dr. Khan Suri over a thousand miles away from his family and community,鈥� said Scarlet Kim, senior staff attorney with the 吃瓜直播鈥檚 Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project. 鈥淲e will continue to work to vindicate Dr. Khan Suri鈥檚 First Amendment rights so that others do not have to fear imprisonment for speaking out about issues that matter to them." Today鈥檚 ruling adds to a string of losses for the Trump administration in cases in which it has arrested immigrant students and academics for criticizing U.S. support of Israel鈥檚 assault on Gaza. In recent weeks, federal district courts have ordered Dr. Khan Suri, Tufts Ph.D student R眉meysa 脰zt眉rk, and Columbia students Mohsen Mahdawi and Mahmoud Khalil released from detention. Dr. Khan Suri is represented in his federal lawsuit by the 吃瓜直播 of Virginia, the 吃瓜直播, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the HMA Law Firm, and the Immigrants and Non-Citizens Rights Clinic at the CUNY School of Law.
