Louisiana immigration judge Jamee Comans ordered pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a legal permanent resident, to be deported to Syria or Algeria for failing to disclose certain information in his application for a green card, according to documents filed in federal court on Wednesday by his lawyers.

However, the activist's defense team, who was detained by immigration authorities in March, will appeal the order of a judge who refused to grant him exemption from being deported.

The young man's lawyers wrote a letter to federal judge Michael Farbiarz, who blocked Khalil's deportation in June, to update him on the current status of the young man's immigration process.

In the letter, his team argues that an immigration judge in Louisiana refused to grant him this protection on September 12 without first holding a hearing, "as required by due process."

In addition, they point out that the judge committed "multiple procedural irregularities" and chose to believe "the false accusations made" by the Government.

The Trump administration accuses him of omitting details in his application for permanent residence, such as his affiliation with certain organizations.

“It’s no surprise that the Trump Administration continues to retaliate against me for exercising my freedom of expression. Their latest attempt, through an immigration court, once again shows their true colors,” the activist notes in the ACLU statement.

Khalil was the first in a series of non-US students detained this year as part of the Trump Administration’s campaign to control speech on college campuses.

Thus, the White House has clashed with institutions like Harvard, from which it has withdrawn millions in funding.

In this context, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), along with other organizations and law firms representing Khalil, stated that the judge relied on “unfounded charges” from the Government, and with his decision takes “one step closer to a final deportation order.”

Khalil was held for months at an immigration detention center in Louisiana, from which he was released in June following a ruling by Farbiarz that invalidated the Trump administration's legal arguments.

For now, Khalil's lawyers suggested in a filing that they intend to appeal the deportation order, but expressed concern that the appeals process would likely be swift and unfavorable.
