https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/judge-allows-mahmoud-khalil-to-hold-newborn-son-for-first-time-despite-trump-administration-objections
Detained Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil was allowed to hold his one-month-old son for the first time Thursday after a federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s efforts to keep the father and infant separated by a plexiglass barrier.

The visit came ahead of a scheduled immigration hearing for Khalil, a legal permanent resident and Columbia University graduate who has been detained in a Louisiana jail since March 8.

He was first person to be arrested under President Donald Trump’s promised crackdown on protesters against the war in Gaza and is one of the few who has remained in custody as his case winds its way through both immigration and federal court.

His request to attend his son’s April 21 birth was denied last month by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The question of whether Khalil would be permitted to hold his newborn child or forced to meet him through a barrier had sparked days of legal fighting, triggering claims by Khalil’s attorneys that he is being subject to political retaliation by the government.

On Wednesday night, a federal judge in New Jersey, Michael Farbiarz, intervened, allowing the meeting to go forward Thursday morning, according to Khalil’s attorneys.

The judge’s order came after federal officials said this week they would oppose his attorney’s effort to secure what’s known as “contact visit” between Khalil, his wife Noor Abdalla and their son Deen.

Instead, they said Khalil could be allowed a “non-contact” visit, meaning he would be separated from his wife and son by a plastic divider and not allowed to touch them.

“Granting Khalil this relief of family visitation would effectively grant him a privilege that no other detainee receives,” Justice Department officials wrote in a court filing on Wednesday. “Allowing Dr. Abdalla and a newborn to attend a legal meeting would turn a legal visitation into a family one.”

Brian Acuna, acting director of the ICE field office in New Orleans, said in an accompanying affidavit that it would be “unsafe to allow Mr. Khalil’s wife and newborn child into a secured part of the facility.”

In their own legal filings, Khalil’s attorneys described the government’s refusal to grant the visit as “further evidence of the retaliatory motive behind Mr. Khalil’s arrest and faraway detention,” adding that his wife and son were “the farthest thing from a security risk.”

They noted that Abdalla had traveled nearly 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) to the remote detention center in hopes of introducing their son to his father.

“This is not just heartless,” Abdalla said of the government’s position. “It is deliberate violence, the calculated cruelty of a government that tears families apart without remorse. And I cannot ignore the echoes of this pain in the stories of Palestinian families, torn apart by Israeli military prisons and bombs, denied dignity, denied life.”

Farbiarz is currently considering Khalil’s petition for release as he appeals a Louisiana immigration judge’s ruling that he can be deported from the country.

Federal authorities have not accused Khalil of a crime, but have sought to deport him on the basis that his prominent role in protests against Israel’s war in Gaza may have undermined U.S. foreign policy interests.

Khalil is scheduled to appear before that immigration judge, Jamee Comans, for a routine hearing on Thursday. Attorneys for Khalil said it was unclear whether the baby would be permitted to attend the hearing.

For a second I thought you meant Trump had a newborn son and that he must have fucked another porn star.

We don't want nasty shit skins in our country :)
His son is gonna go back with him, don't worry.

Oh yes just because I host an event where nazi flyers get passed around doesn't make me a supporter of nazis or anything. I'm just criticizing Israel('s right to exist).

Look, m8, I'm sure nazi fliers get passed around at all sorts of events you attend, but you didn't answer my question.

>>1407854

Oh great. Another limey with an opinion on how we should run shit in America. No wonder you're defending Khalil. He's probably related to your 12 year old daughter's pimp.
>I'm sure nazi fliers get passed around at all sorts of events you attend,
Hah.
>but you didn't answer my question.
Because it's a bullshit question, implying that the ONLY thing going on is "criticizing" Israel. Riddle me this Batman: why are they passing out Hamas flyers?

>>1407854
>Why is criticizing Israel non-American?
NTA
Israel is the second half of our intelligence apparatus.
Remember Epstein? Mossad agent, was working with the CIA to collect info from industry leaders and foreign government officials using sexual blackmail.
>muh RFK

News flash: intelligence agencies do unscrupulous things. It's a small price to pay to be ahead of the curb on foreign threats.

>>1407855
>why are they passing out Hamas flyers?
Do you have a source for this that isn't the Trump admin claiming it without actually showing them?

>>1407881
So there were no flyers at the event saying things like "Crush Zionism" with a giant boot over the Star of David? Y'know, just "criticizing" Israel?

>>1407886
>make your country's flag the star of david
>people cannot use it for imagery now without you being able to pull an anti-semitism gotcha
Fun fact a good chunk of the people at that event who were against zionism are jewish.

>>1407887
>Fun fact a good chunk of the people at that event who were against zionism are jewish.
Wow I would love to see a source on that one. But can we just appreciate for a moment just how hard you're deflecting every single time? Like it's a work of art. There are just so many excuses you've given for why this non-American should stay in America and be allowed to do shit that is antithetical to American values, like simping for a Middle Eastern terrorist group that wants to eradicate all Jews - Oh wait, I'm sorry I meant a group that's being critical of Israel.

lol dems are such bad-faith pieces of shit.

Which you still have no proof of happening other than the Trump admin saying it happened, saying they "had them on their desk", and then never actually presenting them to show it was the case.

>>1407880
>Israel is the second half of our intelligence apparatus.
No they aren't. Our intelligence apparatus is famously hostile to Israel because they constantly spy on us. The second half of our intelligence apparatus is the Five Eyes.

You literally don't know the first thing you're talking about, which explains a lot.

>>1407855

Nah, it's the right question.

Why is criticizing Israel non-American? You claimed that shit, so explain it.

Or is criticizing Israel not non-American? Are you willing to claim that?

Ain't clicking that shit nigga. Why don't you quote the part where they said they were at that event and didn't see anyone passing out any pro-Hamas flyers.

Between him organizing this protest and Columbia's lack of cooperation with the government investigating anti-Jewish behavior on campus, I'd say there's enough here to say that we don't need him in this country. Cut his green card up and boot his ass to the UK for all I care. They can always use more "Asian" immigration.

>>1407897
>I'm a Hoosier, fuckwad.
Apparently they use m8 in Indiana a lot?
>Nah, it's the right question.
Nah, it's a bullshit question. You're not "criticizing" Israel. You're supporting people calling for the death of Israel.

At least find your balls and admit it. Just come out and say "hey I'm a faggot who hates jews and sucks muslim cock, even though their ideology would see my gay ass tossed off a building, because MSNBC told me they're oppressed and I can't cry hard enough for minorities in the world." Stop fucking being a pussy and just admit it.

>>1407855
>Because it's a bullshit question, implying that the ONLY thing going on is "criticizing" Israel. Riddle me this Batman: why are they passing out Hamas flyers?
Because Israel is a terrorist state that must be destroyed.

>>1407902
>Because Israel is a terrorist state that must be destroyed.
And there it is. Finally some fucking honesty. You don't give a shit about the antisemetic attacks in college campuses, and you don't give a fuck that this greencard-holding non-american is simping for terrorist organizations that want to exterminate every Jew on the planet.

>>1407899
>Ain't clicking that shit nigga.
Then you're not gonna care about whatever I say. you just wanna live in your own little world with your own incorrect beliefs instead of facing reality.

Israel is claiming antisemitism to shield their government from the fucked up things they're doing. You don't need to support Hamas to feel bombing innocent children and starving an entire population for the actions of one organization is fucking abhorrent.

>>1407896
>Our intelligence apparatus is famously hostile to Israel because they constantly spy on us.
You're retarded.
Epstein was recruited through the first iteration of the GATE (Gifted And Talented Education) network being run out of Columbia University by the pederast Walter Breen.
Epstein was groomed as an intelligence asset from a young age while working as an uncredentialed 21-year-old teacher at the prestigious Dalton prep school in Manhattan (where he was hired by William Barr's dad, who wrote elaborate sex-slave fantasies disguised as sci-fi novels) he was inducted into Wall Street at a high level, serving as a go-between interfacing with Mossad and CIA on the one hand and big Wall Street banks on the other (Bear Stearns, JPMorgan Chase being two of the most famous).
Epstein's connection to the MEGA group (Les Wexner; Anthony Blinken's father-in-law the Manhattan "super lawyer" Samuel Pisar, who was the last person to talk to Robert Maxwell before he died; the Bronfmans) is the most revealing connection in terms of Epstein being a frontman for Israeli sex blackmail "foreign policy networks."
The CIA and Mossad are a part of a single power structure that controls American foreign domestic policy through sexual blackmail.

Sorry I'm not going to take some shitty .org blog website as a valid source. Is this your first day on /news/?

>Israel is claiming antisemitism to shield their government from the fucked up things they're doing.
Which is hilarious because the people protesting Israel are more antisemetic than I am after three beers. Y'know maybe they wouldn't be able to call antisemitism on people like Khalil if they weren't saying stupid shit like "crush zionism".

I know, a real 4d chess move. You need to have an IQ of 180 to figure that one out.

>>1407908
>Sorry I'm not going to take some shitty .org blog website as a valid source.
Lmao the fucking source for this page is a .org. Not only are these not all blogs, but being a blog doesn't prevent you from showing objective statements from actual jews on his detention.

>Khalil if they weren't saying stupid shit like "crush zionism".
Zionism isn't Judaism fuckwit. There's entire Jewish orgs against Zionism. You gonna call them antisemitic?

Nigga, you know goddamn well if this was another news article and I posted biasedsource.org as a reference you would object to every single part of that. Let me help you out here:

1. All topics and discussion should be about current news articles. The OP must contain a valid URL of an article from a credible news site (i.e., a newspaper, news magazine, or TV channel). Blog and editorial articles are not acceptable.

>Zionism isn't Judaism fuckwit.
Don't split hairs with me you fucking faggot. You know very well that these groups wanting an end to Zionism have no objection to mass-murdering everyone in the region to achieve it.
>There's entire Jewish orgs against Zionism.
Good for them. Do they also advocate for killing Jews too? Because that would be interesting.

Thank you for proving my point. You're trying to have your cake and eat it too.

They're not passing out flyers criticizing Israel at Khalil's little party of faggots. They're passing out flyers such as "Operation Al-Aqsa flood". Tell me, what was that operation about again? What entailed? Come on /int/fag, you should know this one.

>>1407951

Because israel owns the us. The land, the wealth, the people, anything american is an israeli asset and they don't try to hide it
