Judge sides with Trump DOJ to keep Mahmoud Khalil in detention
Judge sides with Trump DOJ to keep Mahmoud Khalil in detention Show Caption Hide Caption Supporters protest for Mahmoud Khalil's release from ICE detention Supporters demanded the release of Mahmoud Khalil while he attended a hearing at the LaSalle Immigration Court in Jena, Louisiana. A federal judge ruled the Trump administration could keep Mahmoud Khalil in custody under a secondary legal argument. On June 13, U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz, of New Jersey, rejected the 30-year-old Palestinian Columbia University graduate's request to be released after three months in immigration detention. On June 11, Farbiarz initially ruled Khalil couldn't be detained by Secretary of State Marco Rubio's determination that he threatened American foreign policy interests. But Farbiarz left open other options for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to hold Khalil. Ahead of a court-ordered deadline to respond on June 13, Justice Department lawyers argued Khalil could be held for misrepresenting information on his permanent residency application, under a federal immigration statute lawyers have presented to the court. "Khalil is now detained based on that other charge of removability," Justice Department lawyers wrote in a June 13 letter submitted to court. "Detaining Khalil based on that other ground of removal is lawful." They said Khalil now has options to seek his release with the charge pending. Farbiarz sided with that assessment and said the secondary charge hasn't been blocked by the court. He said, "a number of avenues are now available to" Khalil, "including a bail application to the immigration judge presiding over the immigration case." Khalil's lawyer, Amy Greer, said that the government was using 'cruel, transparent delay tactics' to keep him away from his wife and newborn son on their first Father's Day, on June 15. 'Instead of celebrating together, he is languishing in ICE detention as punishment for his advocacy on behalf of his fellow Palestinians,' Greer said in a statement. The Justice Department had no comment beyond the filings, an agency spokesperson said in an email. The government had until June 13 to appeal the judge's initial ruling. Justice Department lawyers pushed Khalil to follow the administrative actions instead of filing in federal court. "These administrative processes are the proper avenues for Khalil to seek release, not having a federal district court hold that the government cannot detain Khalil on a charge that the Court never found to be unlawful," the government lawyers said in the letter. In his original June 11 ruling, Farbiarz Khalil's request to temporarily block federal officials from deporting him under Rubio's determination. On June 13, he extended the government's time to respond to appeal his decision. Justice Department lawyers instead brought up the second argument. Khalil's legal team sent a letter to Farbiarz the morning of June 13, requesting that the client be freed since the appeal from the government did not meet the morning deadline. Khalil has been held in an immigration detention center in Louisiana since March. His lawyers have fought for his release to be with his wife and newborn son, Deen. However, a June 12 email sent to Khalil's lawyers by Brian Acuna, director of the New Orleans ICE Field Office, stated that he had "no information [that] your client will be released or a time for that," court records showed. His lawyers instead needed to contact ICE's Office of Chief Counsel on that matter, the email said. Immigration agents arrested Khalil, a green card holder married to an American citizen, on March 8 in the lobby of his university-owned apartment building in Manhattan. A Palestinian born in Syria, Khalil was a spokesman and negotiator for pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia. Khalil was not accused of any crime. Noncitizens can be deported if the Secretary of State finds that their presence threatens U.S. foreign policy interests, even if their beliefs, statements or associations are "otherwise lawful," the Trump administration argued. They cited a rarely used provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 as the basis. Farbiarz ruled against the Secretary of State's determination and said the secondary argument — that he omitted information on his application to enter the country — "almost surely flows" from Rubio's determination. On June 13, Farbiarz said Khalil hadn't given factual evidence as to why it could be unlawful to detain him on the secondary charge.

Federal officials arrest four protesters of immigration raid in Omaha
A worker is escorted to a bus headed to a detention center after she was apprehended at Glenn Valley Foods of Omaha during largest Nebraska immigration raid since President Donald Trump took office. (Courtesy of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) OMAHA — Federal authorities on Friday announced the arrests Thursday of four protesters outside of an Omaha immigration raid conducted earlier this week, alleging that the four were 'aggressive' and captured on video damaging federal property and threatening to assault law officers in relation to the raid at Glenn Valley Foods. The statement by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement provided no names. It said the protesters arrested are expected to face felony charges of 'assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, intimidating or interfering with a federal officer while engaged in the performance of their official duties, as well as damaging government property.' Video of a few people throwing rocks and others blocking law enforcement cars at the Tuesday raid site were widely circulated on social media. 'Many of these protesters claim to be fighting for justice, but instead they damaged property, threatened federal officers and agents and attempted to obstruct a lawful operation aimed at arresting individuals who exploited stolen identities to work illegally,' Todd Lyons, acting ICE Director, said in a statement. Federal immigration raid hits Omaha plant During the enforcement operation at Glenn Valley, immigration agents detained nearly 80 workers. It was the largest immigration enforcement operation in Nebraska since President Donald Trump took office with a pledge to carry out massive deportations. Of the workers detained, ICE has said some had active local warrants, prior DUI convictions or had been previously deported. The agency said in a statement that many may now face additional federal charges: fraud and misuse of visas, permits and other documents; assaulting a federal officer; resisting arrest; illegal reentry; and/or misuse of Social Security numbers. The investigation was conducted by ICE Homeland Security Investigations, with support from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the FBI, and a fraud unit from the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles. 'Peaceful protest is a right protected under the Constitution, and our agents are proud to defend that right every day,' said Mark Zito, Special Agent in Charge of ICE HSI Kansas City, which covers Omaha. 'But threats, violence and property damage by criminal actors claiming some kind of vigilante justice will not be tolerated.' SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX

ICE breakout in New Jersey symptom of Democratic ‘chaos' across the country, local GOP leader says
While Newark Democratic Mayor Ras Baraka has blamed the Trump administration for a breakout Thursday night at a local ICE detention center, New Jersey GOP leader Kenny Gonzalez criticized Baraka and the Democratic Party, saying it has been sowing "chaos" across the country that emboldens criminal illegals and violent rioters. "It all started a few months ago here in New Jersey, when Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested for attempting to trespass into the facility and Congresswoman LaMonica McIver assaulting an ICE agent," Gonzalez told Fox News Digital. "This type of behavior from Democrat left-wing politicians tells the general public that it's OK to do these kinds of things." Four migrants escaped from the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark Thursday evening after an apparent disturbance inside the building, a senior Homeland Security official confirmed to Fox News. Immigration attorney Mustafa Cetin told around 50 detainees at the facility pushed down a dormitory wall after becoming agitated when meals were delayed. Democrat Accuses Trump Of Unleashing 'Campaign Of Terror' On Illegals As La Riots Rage "It's about the food, and some of the detainees were getting aggressive, and it turned violent," Cetin said. Read On The Fox News App He added that his client reported the wall was "not very strong" and described detainees hanging bedsheets in what may have been an escape attempt. The client also said he smelled gas during the incident. To add to the chaos, at approximately 9 p.m., a group of protesters blocked an SUV from exiting an ancillary gate at Delaney Hall, forcing it to back into the facility. PIX11 News reported that the escapees were seen running near Turnpike 78 and Delancey Street. Ice Officers Assaulted During Raid That Nabbed 70 Illegal Immigrants At Meat Plant: Dhs The Department of Homeland Security identified the four escaped migrants on Friday as "public safety threats." The escaped detainees have been identified as Honduran nationals Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes and Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez and Colombian nationals Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada and Andres Pineda-Mogollon. Bautista-Reyes was previously arrested for aggravated assault and terroristic threats. The incident comes just two days after McIver was indicted on three federal charges from a previous visit to Delaney Hall May 9. McIver was with Baraka and others during what was described as an oversight visit. Baraka was initially charged with trespassing, but the charge was later dropped. Blue City Joins La Chaos As Anti-ice Agitators Injure Officers In Violent Riots In response to the breakout, Baraka said his office was "concerned about reports of what has transpired at Delaney Hall this evening, ranging from withholding food and poor treatment, to uprising and escaped detainees." Baraka criticized the federal government, saying, "This entire situation lacks sufficient oversight of every basic detail, including local zoning laws and fundamental constitutional rights. "This is why city officials and our congressional delegation need to be allowed entry to observe and monitor and why private prisons pose a very real problem to our state and its Constitution," he added. "We demand immediate answers and clear communication with the GEO Group and the Department of Homeland Security. We must put an end to this chaos and not allow this operation to continue unchecked." Gonzalez, however, said Baraka and Democratic leaders across the country should bear the blame for the breakout. Mother Of Murdered Jogger Slams Rep. Crockett For Dismissing Migrant Crime Victims "The far left was inspired after what they saw a few days ago in LA, and they wanted to replicate the same thing here in New Jersey, and they followed the politician's lead," he said. "So, this just falls into their plan to sow up chaos to distract from what the Democrat Party has been doing nationally and what they've done here in Jersey over the last few years." Gonzalez said Baraka should bear particular blame for the situation, adding, "It's very dangerous what the mayor's doing." "That statement is just so dangerous," Gonzalez said. "To watch the videos of what went on yesterday that clearly show that unhinged protesters were interfering with the ICE agents that were on scene, showing that they were stopping transport vehicles from getting in and out of the facility. … The fact that Ras Baraka's response is to blame it on the federal government and the state is very, very, very dangerous and shows a lack of accountability." With more protests planned for the weekend, Gonzalez worries Newark may still not be in the clear. Patty Morin Calls Out Democrats For Downplaying Illegal Immigration: 'Mind-boggling' "We just pray that it doesn't get to the point where President Trump has to do what he did in LA by mobilizing the National Guard. We hope that we can get things under control," Gonzalez said. "Delaney Hall is definitely going to be a target of all those protests tomorrow. And we definitely don't want to see that." Gonzalez criticized Baraka and other Democratic leaders for having an ideology by which "they see the inmates as victims, and they see themselves as heroes for all of this grandstanding and obstructing that they've been doing. "The good news is they are the minority, and the majority of New Jerseyans are not very happy with what's going on," he noted. "It's time for Gov. [Phil] Murphy to allow law enforcement to do its job and stop what's going on over there, because we know the mayor's not going to do it." Democrats Cash In After Padilla Forcibly Removed From Trump Admin Press Conference Meanwhile, Abigail Jackson, White House spokeswoman, told Fox News Digital that "if Democrats had their way, criminal illegal aliens would always be roaming the streets of every American community." "The Trump Administration is committed to doing everything possible to Make America Safe Again, and DHS has brought in additional law enforcement partners to locate the escapees," she said.
