OMfrickin' gosh...Mahmoud Khalil is complaining to a federal district court judge that the Board of Immigration appeals is hearing HIS appeal too quickly. Congress expressly removed jurisdiction from district court over immigration appeals. This. Is. Nutso! pic.twitter.com/rbi1CJXdfZ

DSA members, Singham network calls for more activity in Khalil's defense
Ramzi Kassem, then the co-director of the Creating Law Enforcement Accountability & Responsibility program (CLEAR) at the City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law, was one of Khalil's lawyers last year. At the end of December, Mamdani chose Kassem to be his mayoral chief counsel.
"Welcome to A New Era, Ramzi Kassem!" Mamdani tweeted last month. "Ramzi Kassem joins the administration from the City University of New York School of Law, where he co-founded and now co-directs CLEAR (Creating Law Enforcement Accountability & Responsibility), which has been on the front lines of providing legal defense for students detained by ICE and supporting many more at risk."
Aber Kawas, DSA member and a longtime Muslim activist who has made controversial statements about terrorism and 9/11, and was also endorsed by Mamdani for a New York state assembly seat in Queens, quickly sought to defend Khalil on Thursday in an X post which included two pictures of Kawas with Khalil, including one where Khalil has donned a red DSA-emblazoned winter hat.

"It looks like he'll go to Algeria. That's what the thought is right now," Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary for public affairs, told "Katie Pavlich Tonight" when asked about Khalil.
"It's a reminder for those who are in this country on a visa or on a green card. You are a guest in this country act like it," she added. "It is a privilege, not a right, to be in this country to live or to study."
