Busted! Pro-Hamas Columbia Agitator Reportedly Caught Lying on Visa Application As Deportation Looms

Things just went from bad to worse for Mahmoud Khalil, the anti-semitic, terrorist-supporting agitator at Columbia University who was recently taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials and placed on the short list for repatriation back to Algeria. Pending a court order, of course.

Khalil, as you'll recall, became the pet cause of the left after his detainment, with Democrats absolutely losing it over a guy who has spent the time since October 7 advocating for the wholesale destruction of Israel and making Jewish Columbia students scared for their safety. All while here in the United States on a student visa.

As it so happens, Khalil, a green card holder, allegedly lied on his visa application by failing to reveal his membership in, drumroll please, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, commonly known as UNRWA. UNRWA is one of the world's chief bad actors and hides its terrorist-loving ways under the guise of being a charity. A charity that may have allowed Israeli hostages to be held captive in its facilities by Hamas terrorists. So there's that.

UNRWA is so closely aligned with the big three "H" terror groups—Hezbollah, Houthis and Hamas—that President Trump pulled all funding from the organization back in February. Yes, your taxpayer dollars, to the tune of tens of millions of smackeroos, were funding what the Trump White House basically confirmed as being a quasi-terrorist organization.

UNRWA has reportedly been infiltrated by members of groups long designated by the Secretary of State (Secretary) as foreign terrorist organizations, and UNRWA employees were involved in the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel.

And guess who spent time as a "political affairs officer" for UNRWA as recently as the end of 2023? Our good friend Mahmoud Khalil, that's who.

Lawyers for the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) filed court papers over the weekend alleging Khalil's ties to UNRWA were justification enough for him to be repatriated back to Algeria. But, wait, there's more.

The DOJ also alleges that Khalil did not reveal he was working at the Syria Office in the British Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, when he applied for his visa, or that he was a member of Columbia University Apartheid Divest — an anti-Israel group that set off protests at the Ivy League school.

This guy should have never been here, yet Democrats and their chums in the judiciary seem intent on dying on this hill, bizarrely maintaining that Khalil's First Amendment rights are being violated. As the DOJ notes, “Khalil’s First Amendment allegations are a red herring" by the left, and freedom of speech does not "overcome the executive’s prerogative and control over immigration."

Meanwhile, as the DOJ was taking steps to send Khalil back to where he came from, the braintrust over at CBS Sunday Morning ran a cloying interview with his pregnant American wife, Noor Abdalla, portraying her as a victim of the mean old Trump administration.

Imagine how terrified those Israeli hostages being held captive in UNRWA facilities must have felt? And possibly still feel?

Mahmoud Khalil's case is a stark reminder of the dangers of allowing bad actors to exploit America's immigration system while pushing extremist agendas. As the Trump DOJ moves forward with his repatriation, it’s clear that Khalil’s time in the U.S. is running out—no matter how much his media and political allies try to spin it otherwise.
