Judge permits Trump administration to deport Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil

The article details the controversial deportation ruling against Mahmoud Khalil, intertwining legal claims with emotionally charged statements. Government officials repeatedly use appeals to emotion, invoking terrorism and hatred of America without presenting verifiable evidence. Genetic fallacy and ad hominem attacks are used to discredit Khalil based on perceived affiliations and character rather than legal merit. False cause is evident in linking Khalil’s political activism to national security threats. Ambiguity arises from undefined terms like “aligned to Hamas.” The judge’s acceptance of a memo as sufficient justification exhibits begging the question, presuming the danger Khalil poses without evidentiary support.
