What is Mahmoud Khalil asking the Supreme Court to do?

Mahmoud Khalil is asking the US Supreme Court to hear his case and overturn a ruling by the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals. This ruling allows for his potential re-arrest and deportation, and his lawyers argue it infringes on his right to challenge detention based on protected speech.

Why is Mahmoud Khalil facing re-arrest and deportation?

Khalil was arrested as part of the Trump administration's campaign to detain and deport noncitizens involved in pro-Palestinian activism. The 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that federal immigration law barred a lower court judge from ordering his release, paving the way for his deportation.

What is the legal argument in Khalil's case?

Khalil's lawyers argue that immigration law should not prevent noncitizens from challenging their detention if they believe it is intended to punish constitutionally protected speech. They contend that if the government can punish speech related to pro-Palestine activism, it could punish any form of speech.
