US EditionMahmoud Khalil Will Be Deported to Algeria, DHS Official Says
Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful permanent U.S. resident and pro-Palestinian activist, faces deportation after a federal appeals court reversed a previous release order, DHS said.
- On Thursday, January 22, 2026, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said Mahmoud Khalil will be re-arrested and deported to Algeria.
- After a federal appeals court ruling reversing a lower court, Khalil’s March arrest and months-long detention ended with a judge ordering his release in June.
- The government contends Mahmoud Khalil lied on residency applications and supports Hamas, while Khalil denies backing violence and his legal team disputes detention amid ongoing appeals.
- Advocates warn Khalil is the first of several immigrant university students targeted for deportation over pro-Palestinian activism, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio cautioned of adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States.
- The department framed the case as a warning to visa and green-card holders, with Tricia McLaughlin saying, it's "a reminder for those who are in this country on a visa or on a green card," while Khalil's legal team contests detention, citing First Amendment rights.
