Abdullah Al-Haqim 
While a federal judge extended on Wednesday to prevent the deportation of Khalil, in a hearing in New York, on the chants of hundreds of demonstrators in solidarity with him in front of the court building, his detention began to turn into a public opinion case, especially since no official charge was directed to him until the moment.
President Donald Trump’s management paper against Khalil is to the dependence of Foreign Minister Marco Rubio on a decision of the fifties of the last century, rarely used, allowing the abolition of a foreigner visa, or the abolition of his permanent residence, if his presence in America contradicts the country’s national and external interests.
In light of the lack of material evidence for this administration on any connection to Hebron in the “Hamas” movement, which is classified as a terrorist, the Republicans resorted to accusations depicting a model for students who insulted their Jewish colleagues verbally, or made them feel fear and exclusion on the campus. They are accusations that Rubio saw that she was sufficient to treat the student and the legal resident who is married to an eighth -month American, as a resident because of the United States, because permanent residency is not an acquired right.
In the face of a unified Republican position, and the high ceiling in defaming the Arab thirtieth Arab, the democrats appear not at all interested in the Palestinian, who was strongly active during the past year in the demonstrations of his Colombia University against the Israeli war on Gaza, which led to a division in the democratic body withdrew on the position of the same demonstrations.
Socialist democratic Senator Bernie Sanders, for example, Khalil did not mention the name, and preferred to address the American president in a post on “X”, saying to him: “No, Mr. President, you cannot arrest holders of American permanent residence and detain them because of their political view or opinions. Throwing demonstrators in prisons is an additional step on the way to tyranny.”
On the other hand, his companion Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Senate minority in the Senate, began his post, which is supposed to be solidarity with Khalil, saying: “I have defined and supported by Khalil and the policies that Khalil adopted and criticized the anti -Semitic activities at the University of Columbia,” continuing that his “detention, however, is a violation of the first amendment in the constitution.”
This democratic fear of adopting the Khalil political issue was broken by Representative Rachida Talib, in a request to signing 13 others of her colleagues in the House of Representatives. Tlaib said that “the arrest of Khalil is a racist act that is hostile to the Palestinians aimed at suppressing the solidarity movement with Palestine in this country.”
Khalil described as a political prisoner. This description soon found his way to independent activists and media workers on the media, adding to him that he was the first political prisoner of Donald Trump.
They considered that the authorities have taken retaliatory measures against him to Louisiana, and prevented his lawyer from communicating with him separately and accusing him of the crime of anti -Semitism, even though there is no charge in America with this name, because you have the right to think or say what you want, and they do not have to prove that it is. He was arrested because he criticized Israel.
Khalil’s wife, the pregnant woman, who remained unknown until Wednesday, spoke to Reuters and appeared carrying an ultrasound image of her male fetus, who was waiting for a month. Nour Abdullah, a 28 -year -old dentist, said that she was naive when she was not convinced that Mahmoud was afraid of being able to arrest him just two days before his detention. What terrifies her now is the possibility that Mahmoud will meet his son from behind a separation glass. Nour was able to communicate with her husband on the phone, and it seems that he continued his activity in the detention center, assisting his new comrades who are not fluent in English, and she is divided with them the food he buys from his own money.
The general activity that Khalil was addicted to was what was put in the goal of Trump’s view. On the contrary, many students who were hiding their faces and did not make their names, during the demonstrations in Colombia always exposed to the face, making statements to the media, and also plays the role of mediator between the administration and the demonstrators. He had nothing to hide or afraid of it. Now he pays the price of his boldness.
