The Trump administration says that Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil has distorted information on the request for a green card

The government said that the Palestinian protester Mahmoud Khalil intentionally distorted information about his request for a green card and is therefore unacceptable in the United States.

According to the recent judicial files, the administration of President Donald Trump said that Khalil had not disclosed during the request of his green card last year that his job by the office of Syria at the British Embassy in Beirut went “beyond 2022” and that he was a “political affairs officer” for the United Nations Aid and Palestinian Work Agency 2023.

“Khalil is now charged as unacceptable at the time of his adjustment of the status, because he sought to obtain an immigration service by fraud of false deliberate declarations of an important fact,” said lawyers of the administration in the file.

The administration also said that Khalil had not told the government that he was a member of the apartheid disinvestment group of Columbia University.

The government arrested Khalil on March 8 after invoking a rarely used Immigration law provision The fact that they said allows the Secretary of State to revoke the legal status of people whose presence in the country could have “unfavorable consequences of foreign policy”. The new accusations seem to represent an attempt to strengthen the justification of the administration to hold Khalil and deny his release.

“The allegations of Khalil’s first amendment are a red herring, and there is an independent base to justify the sufficient withdrawal to grasp the constitutional complaint of Khalil,” said the file.

“The additional costs deposited by the government last week are completely without merit,” said Marc Van der Hout, whose court office represents Khalil, at ABC News in response to a request for comments. “They show that the government has no cases on this false accusation that its presence in the United States would have unfavorable consequences on foreign policy. This case only concerns activity and discourse protected by the first amendment, and American citizens and permanent residents are free to say what they want in the world.”

“Regardless of his allegations concerning political discourse, Khalil has kept membership of certain organizations and did not disclose continuous employment by the Office of Syria in the British Embassy in Beirut when he submitted his adjustment of the demand for status. It is the law on blacks that the faults of screening in this context are not protected speeches,” said the government in the file.

During a briefing of the State Department on Monday, spokesperson Tammy Bruce was invited several times to know whether the ministry now considered previous work for UNRWA as reasons for disqualification for visa candidates – but it has repeatedly refused to respond.

“If you are lying in your efforts to come to the United States to get a visa for any reason, or for a green card, there may not have been any repercussions, or we have not done things correctly in the past. Many things have changed with the election of Donald Trump,” said Bruce in a general declaration during the briefing.

Khalil, a head of camp demonstrations in Columbia last spring, was taken into account his initial detention of his student building at 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan, then to an immigration detention center in Elizabeth, New Jersey, before being transported to a legal immigration team and customs detention in Louisiana, according to his legal team.
