I despise Khalil. He's espousing anti-Western and anti-Israeli values and
is acting, effectively, as a spokesman for Hamas, It's a
misrepresentation to call him "pro Palestinian" as taking the Hamas side
is anti-Palestinian.
What are his free speech/press rights (he was distributing pro-Hamas
literature in addition to speaking for the protestors)? Does the
president's exclusive power to make foreign policy outweight First
Amendment rights?
The government has not alleged he committed a crime. This is in court
filings. He's being deported under Sec 237(a)(4)(C)(i) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act. Prior immigration bills also had
deportation language in them.
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5191510-deportation-law-mahmoud-khalil/This page explains the procedures being used by the government. An order
in a prior immigration matter found that a letter from the secretary of
state having made a determination is sufficient and that the law doesn't
allow either DHS or the Attorney General to override the finding.
https://myattorneyusa.com/immigration-blog/deportation-and-removal/removal-deportation-defense/section-237-deportability-statutes-security-and-related-grounds/That's why Rubio's letter was used.
Is Khalil allowed due process with regard to Rubio's determination? I
have no idea how that could be argued based on the statute itself, but
there's always a constitutional argument to make.
Regardless of the law, Trump is screwing with his civil rights. There's
the attempt at change of jurisdiction to Louisina, but a judge ruled
that because his attorneys filed the habeas petition, the government
doesn't have the law on its side to transfer jurisdiction. Also he's
been held incommunicado in a contract detention facility in Louisiana as
his attorneys contend that he has been denied access to a phone line to
call his attorneys that isn't monitored. Both actions would deny him
access to counsel.
He's still in the United States so it seems to me that right to counse
in the Sixth Amendment applies.

policy outweigh free speech/press, but I don't see what the argument
in favor of the government about denial of effective counsel can be.
