In January, The Gateway Pundit reported that the Department of Homeland Security affirmed that far-left Mahmoud Khalil, the radical Islamist who has been stirring up anti-American chaos on U.S. college campuses, will be deported to Algeria.
Although Khalil has fought the move in court for months, arguing that deportation would somehow violate constitutional protections for permanent residents, an immigration appeals board has now denied his latest bid to dismiss his deportation case.
In June 2025, following his March 2025 arrest, a federal judge in New Jersey ruled his detention unconstitutional and ordered his release on bail.
A federal appeals court (3rd Circuit) reversed the New Jersey judge’s release order on jurisdictional grounds, moving the case primarily into the immigration court system.
In September 2025, an immigration judge in Louisiana finally ordered his deportation.
The order, issued by Judge Jamee Comans, demanded that Khalil, a legal permanent resident with deep ties to Palestinian extremism, be shipped back to either Syria or Algeria for lying on his green card application by hiding his shady past employment and affiliations with questionable organizations.
On Thursday, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) issued a final order of removal after denying his appeal.
An immigration appeals board has denied Mahmoud Khalil’s latest bid to dismiss his deportation case, a largely expected ruling that brings the former Columbia University graduate student and Palestinian activist one step closer to re-arrest and possible expulsion.
The Board of Immigration Appeals issued the final order of removal on Thursday, according to Khalil’s lawyers. The board’s rulings are not public, and an inquiry to the U.S. Department of Justice was not immediately returned.

The Board of Immigration Appeals sets precedent in the byzantine immigration court system, which is controlled by the Department of Justice — and increasingly under the influence of the Trump administration.
Just days after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks against civilians in Israel, Khalil whipped up Columbia University students and chanted the genocidal slogan “From the River to the Sea.”
Mahmoud Khalil chanting genocidal slogan “From the River to the Sea” on October 12, 2023 – Israel was still fighting Hamas terrorists and still months from identifying all the murdered & kidnapped victims on October 7. Khalil later refers to Hamas as “we” in NY Times interview. https://t.co/CxjG4DdIO8

In an interview with The New York Times, Khalil referred to Hamas as “we” and displayed, as author Seth Mandel described, a “dehumanizing world view.”
