President Trump is working to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia graduate student who has been an organizer of pro-Hamas rallies and who has been committing crimes, recruiting others to commit crimes, and illegally supporting a terrorist organization as an alien. John has been doing yeoman's work covering this case.
Immigration law is explicit about the last: you may not have, may not now, nor may you at any point as a visa or green card holder support terrorists. It is black letter law.
The Left is going crazy, because, well, the Left. If it is bad, they support it.
But imagine my surprise to learn that he is also associated with British intelligence and their their foreign policy establishment, and has been for years.
Well, then, he MUST be a good guy, even if he is recruiting for US domestic terrorist-supporting organizations. He did outreach in SYRIA, a place filled with the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human beings I've ever known in my life.
For God's sake, Britain, how debased can a country be.
But his colleagues in the British embassy in Syria loved him. His job, supposedly, was to increase Britain's "soft power," and unless that means promoting violence and revolution, he was doing a pretty crappy job of it. It sounds more like he was recruiting terrorists to get student visas to Western countries.
The Brits are so determined to import Muslims who are promoting violence and Sharia law in their own country that Khalil is their idea of an ideal ambassador to the Syrian community. Syria has been in the midst of a horrific civil war, is filled with ISIS and al Qaeda terrorists, and is probably not the best place to be recruiting the "best and the brightest."

Uh, wut? Say again? He has been key to their "soft power" initiatives, which sure sounds like liaising with terrorists in this case.So then the question becomes “ why did @10DowningStreet have a MI6 spy in America organizing/leading violent antisemitic riots and destabilizing universities/cities?”
Sounds like they may want Revolutionary War 2.0.

The White House triumphally posted Trump's statement and an image of Khalil on X on Monday, accompanied with the words "SHALOM, MAHMOUD" and the accusation that he "led activities aligned to Hamas".
Khalil graduated with a master’s degree from Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs in December.
He was one of the main negotiators for students during the pro-Palestine campus encampment in the spring of 2024.
However, MEE has found that he previously worked as a programme manager at the Syria Office in the British embassy in Beirut from 2018 t0 2022.
Online records reviewed by MEE show that Khalil worked as a local manager for the Syria Chevening Program, a prestigious UK government international scholarship scheme, as well as for the Conflict, Stability, and Security Fund.
'Loved by his colleagues'
Former British diplomat Andrew Waller, who was a policy advisor at the Syria Office while Khalil worked there, told MEE that the US government's depiction of Khalil was false and defamatory.
"He went through a vetting process to get the job and was cleared to work on sensitive issues for the British government," Waller said
"It's outright defamation what Trump has done. Mahmoud is an extremely kind and conscientious person and he was loved by his colleagues at the Syria Office," he added.
Well, then, he MUST be a good guy, even if he is recruiting for US domestic terrorist-supporting organizations. He did outreach in SYRIA, a place filled with the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human beings I've ever known in my life.

Khalil has been shouting to the world that he wants to "eradicate Western Civilization" and that revolutionary violence is the way to do so. He has led occupations of buildings on Columbia's campus, been engaged in what amounts to violence used to deprive others of their civil rights, and preaches support for terrorist violence.Mahmoud Khalil’s group wants to eradicate Western Civilization & foment unrest in the United States. President Trump & @SecRubio are well within their legal rights to deport this radical. We are either going to stand up or become Europe. I’m 100% behind the President. pic.twitter.com/0shUR407pr
