Trump Administration Claims Mahmoud Khalil Hid Controversial Previous Employment in Green Card Application, Widening Case for Deportation

Anti-Israel student activist, Mahmoud Khalil, who was arrested and detained by immigration officials this month, is now being accused by the government of lying on his green card application about his employment history.
