Third Circuit Court of Appeals

Appeals Court Declines Rehearing for Mahmoud Khalil, Paving Way for Deportation Fight

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit declined last Friday to rehear the detention case of pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a decision that Amnesty International stated could facilitate his deportation. The ruling prompted criticism from advocacy organizations and civil rights groups, with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) announcing its intent to seek Supreme Court review.
