A federal judge lifted travel limits on Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist, allowing him to speak at rallies nationwide while he contests a deportation case brought by the Trump administration. Judge Michael Hammer cited his compliance and low flight risk, but required notice to ICE. Government attorney Aniello DeSimone argued he could attend events remotely; Khalil’s lawyer Alina Das stressed First Amendment concerns. A prominent figure in Columbia University protests over the war in Gaza, Khalil was arrested by ICE on March 8 and released in June after missing his first child’s birth. He is challenging a deportation ruling.
