Mahmoud Khalil deportation case: Federal judge orders release of Palestinian activist; govt given till Friday to appeal
Federal judge blocks Trump administration from continuing to detain Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that Mahmoud Khalil, a legal US resident and former graduate student at Columbia University, must be released from immigration detention. Khalil was detained in March following his participation in campus pro-Palestinian demonstrations against Israel's military action in Gaza. Judge Michael Farbiarz said that Khalil's continued detention is causing him 'irreparable harm,' citing damage to his career, personal life and free speech rights. 'The Court finds as a matter of fact that the Petitioner's career and reputation are being damaged and his speech is being chilled — and this adds up to irreparable harm,' the judge wrote in his ruling. Despite the decision, Khalil will remain in custody until at least 9:30 am Friday, allowing the US government time to file an appeal. He has also been asked to post a $1 bond before being released. Arrest and detention Khalil was arrested on March 8 in the lobby of his university-owned residence. He was the first person to be detained under a Trump administration crackdown targeting international students involved in Gaza protests. Khalil is married to a US citizen and recently became a father. After his arrest, Khalil was moved across the country to a detention facility in Jena, Louisiana, far from his lawyers and family. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 10 Signs Your Dog Loves You More Than Anything Liseer Read More Undo His legal team, led by the City University of New York's CLEAR project, challenged the detention as unconstitutional. 'The court's decision is the most significant vindication yet of Mahmoud's rights,' said Ramzi Kassem, co-director of CLEAR. 'But we aren't out of the woods until Mahmoud is free and back home with his wife and child," they added. Legal arguments Judge Farbiarz previously said that efforts to expel Khalil based on foreign policy concerns were 'likely unconstitutional.' The government has argued that Khalil's presence could harm US foreign policy. US secretary of state Marco Rubio invoked that statute to justify the deportation, saying Khalil's activism poses 'potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States.' Khalil says he did nothing wrong and did not hide anything on his green card application. He told the court he only did a university-approved internship with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, and was not an officer, as the government claims. In court filings, Khalil said the government's actions had already affected his career, with Oxfam International withdrawing a job offer due to the controversy. He also said the experience had discouraged him from engaging in future activism. No criminal charges, growing list of released activists Khalil was not arrested during the Columbia protests and has not been accused of any crimes. His public presence at the demonstrations drew attention from critics and the White House, which accused him of 'siding with terrorists' without providing evidence. He had served as a negotiator and spokesperson for student protesters who camped on campus. Columbia University later called in police to clear the encampment after a building was occupied, though Khalil was not involved in that action. Other legal residents detained for similar activism have recently been released, including students from Tufts, Georgetown and a Palestinian student from Columbia.

Modi govt secured borders, strengthened economy: Minister Kamlesh Paswan
1 2 Prayagraj: Union minister of State for Rural Development Kamlesh Paswan while addressing media persons in city on Wednesday recounted the achievements of the Modi govt . He said, "India has set on a new journey of development of service, good governance, and poor welfare in the Amrit Kaal of developed India. " He further said that in the last 11 years, Modi govt secured the borders, strengthened the economy and took technology to the masses. Through Operation Sindoor, PM Narendra Modi gave a clear message to the entire world, including Pakistan, that any attack on Indian soil will be considered an act of war. With indigenous technologies like the S-400 missile defence system, Brahmos, Akash missile, INS Vikrant, Tejas, and Prachand attack helicopter, India is now not only emerging as a self-reliant defence power but is also exporting defence equipment. Currently, India's defence exports have increased 34 times to reach Rs 23,622 crores. He said, "Modi govt during crisis has safely evacuated its citizens from every corner of the world, proving that the govt is committed to the safety of Indians not only within the borders but all over the world. Through Operation Ganga during the Russia-Ukraine war, Operation Devi Shakti during the Taliban occupation of Afghanistan, and Vande Bharat Mission during Covid, the Modi govt brought crores of Indians safely from abroad. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo At one time, 96 districts of the country were in the grip of Naxalism, but due to the decisive policy of the Modi govt, stringent action of the security forces, and the strategy of development, the Naxal-affected districts have been reduced to a few. Naxal incidents have reduced by 70%." Currently, India has moved towards becoming the 4th largest economy in the world, and around 49% of global digital transactions take place in India itself. The govt's technology-based e-governance system has given a new definition to transparency, timeliness, and accountability. Global institutions like IMF and UNDP have praised the efforts of the Modi govt towards poverty alleviation in the country, as a result of which about 25 crore people have come out of the PM Jan Dhan Yojana, the general public of the country has been connected to the banking system by opening 55.22 crore bank accounts, he added. Moreover, the success of Chandrayaan-3 in 2024 and now the preparation of Gaganyaan is proof that Modi's new India is moving ahead not only on earth but also in space. Apart from connecting 99% of villages with road connectivity, the railway budget has also been increased 9 times. Moreover, the number of airports doubled in the Modi govt, he further said. Paswan also said that the abolition of Article 370 from J&K, the world-class Kashi Vishwanath corridor, Mahakal project and Ram temple are no longer dreams but realities. The Nari Shakti Vandan Act has given 33% reservation to women in Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabhas. Over 10 crore women joined 90 lakh self-help groups, and a target of making 3 crore 'Lakhpati Didi' was set. Moreover, women got permanent commission in the army. India has the highest number of women pilots. The number of AIIMS has increased to 23, with 8 new IIMs, 7 new IITs, and 490 new universities established. The govt's Startup India scheme has made India the third largest startup ecosystem in the world. 40.71 crore health insurance cards were issued under Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Yojana.

Flex-fuel drive: Ministry seeks lower GST on crude ethanol
NEW DELHI: At a time when the Centre and states are discussing the rationalisation of the GST structure, road transport minister Nitin Gadkari sought a reduction in the levy on crude ethanol from 18% to 5% to encourage the manufacturing and sale of flex-fuel vehicles. At present, GST on ethanol used for blending with petrol under the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme is 5%. Sources said Gadkari suggested parity in the GST rate for both crude ethanol and the green fuel used for blending in petrol. Currently, around 400 fuel pumps sell 100% ethanol, but demand remains muted. 'Why will people go for these vehicles if the price of crude ethanol is equal to or more than that of petrol? Hence there is a need to bring down the GST rate,' a source said. The suggestion for lower taxes comes at a time when the Centre has taken up a holistic review of the GST structure, instead of limiting it to a select set of goods and services such as life and health insurance. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and a team of officials at the Centre are looking at the issue in detail before they present the proposals and seek to evolve a consensus. At least two groups of ministers comprising representatives from the states were set up, but the suggestions made by them were not seen to be complete. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo A third group of ministers is tackling the issues of cesses as the compensation cess is due to end in March. While there is reluctance from state finance ministers to tinker with the four slabs of 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%, there is growing demand from industry that rationalisation is the need of the hour given that there are several items on which classification concerns have emerged since the regime kicked in eight years ago. Besides, the structure is such that almost two-thirds of the collections come from the 18% slab, although a majority of the items are in the 5% bracket, which yields very little revenue. In the past, there have been discussions around merging the 12% and 18% slabs and putting items in these two brackets at 15-16%. While it will result in some revenue loss, there could also be a political challenge given that items in the 12% bracket will see a higher levy.
