Elie Honig on Mahmoud Khalil: The Admin Says Congress Gave the President Broad Authority to Deport at Their Discretion

EXCERPT:

HONIG: “The issue on the one hand, the administration says this is a law Congress gave the president, the secretary of State, very broad authority to deport people in their discretion. On the other hand, Khalil's argument, which the trial judge agreed with, is that if it's used to punish people for what they say, that would violate the First Amendment.”
