A black and white image of a grand courthouse with columns. Bold white text reads "MAHMOUD KHALIL CASE UPDATE" at the center, with a 50501 logo in the bottom corner.
A protest scene with demonstrators holding signs advocating for Mahmoud Khalil's release. The text overlay reads "MAHMOUD KHALIL CASE JUST RULED ON." In a text box below reads βAn immigration judge in Louisiana ruled on Friday that Palestinian student protest leader Mahmoud Khalil can be deported on the basis of a letter from Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling Mahmoudβs presence a βforeign policy threat.β
A man, Mahmoud Khalil stands looking serious. The overlay text asks "WHO IS MAHMOUD KHALIL?". The text box below reads "Mahmoud is a Palestinian activist. He is a permanent resident. He is a husband. He is about to become a father. His only βcrimeβ was standing up and speaking the truth. Mahmoudβs freedom is under attack because he dared to protest. This is what happens when the government uses immigration law to crush dissent."
A group of protesters holds a sign reading, βIMMIGRANTS MAKE AMERICA GREAT.β The overlay text states "ICE CONTINUES TO TEAR FAMILIES APART." The text box below reads "βUS immigration ripped my soul from me,β Khalilβs wife said in Tuesday nightβs statement. βInstead of putting together our nursery and washing baby clothes in anticipation of our first child, I am left sitting in our apartment, wondering when Mahmoud will get a chance to call me from a detention center.β
A man is being deported for using his voice. If free speech leads to detention and deportation, this is only the beginning. If Khalil isn't safe, none of us are safe. #FreeMahmoud #FreeKhalil #DefendDissent #BringThemBack

When a husband, wife & kids are unable to spend any time together on vacation, that is not a family value. It's an attack on everything a family is supposed to stand for.
Unacceptable.

There's something needs to be said:
You don't need to be gay to stick up for your gay friends
Or trans to stick up for your trans friends
Or Jewish or Muslim or Hindu or black or white
You only need to be good people
To stick up for your friends

Trump is targeting law firms that defend federal employees, expanding his campaign of retaliation against lawyers he opposes. A new memorandum threatens to use government power to punish any firm that, in his view, unfairly challenges his administration.
