LIVE | Karoline Leavitt Backs Mahmoud Khalil’s Deportation, Vows ‘More Arrests’ of Foreign Students After ICE Detainment of Pro-Palestine Columbia Grad
Amid growing outrage over the arrest of pro-Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil, who faces deportation under the Trump administration, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the move. She stated that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has full authority to revoke the visa or green card of individuals deemed a threat to U.S. foreign policy and national security.
Reaffirming the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on terrorism, Leavitt accused Khalil of abusing his privilege to study in the U.S. by siding with Hamas.
