A federal immigration board has rejected the most recent legal challenge by Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil to halt his deportation proceedings.
The Board of Immigration Appeals turned down Khalil’s petition to have his removal case dismissed, marking another setback in his ongoing legal battle to remain in the United States.
The adverse ruling moves the activist closer to potential deportation as his legal options continue to narrow. Khalil has been fighting removal proceedings while advocating for Palestinian causes.
The immigration board’s decision represents the latest development in what has become a prolonged legal fight over Khalil’s immigration status and his efforts to avoid being sent out of the country.
