His attorneys have said that if he were ordered deported, they would appeal the judge’s ruling. Comans gave Khalil until April 23 to request a stay of his deportation if his attorneys believe he qualifies for one. And the judge said if they don’t meet that deadline, she will order him deported either to Syria, where he was born, or to Algeria, where he is a citizen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Mahmoud can be targeted in this way, simply for speaking out for Palestinians and exercising his constitutionally protected right to free speech, this can happen to anyone over any issue the Trump administration dislikes,” said Marc van Der Hout, one of Khalil’s attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12035718\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12035718\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/npr.brightspotcdn-1-copy-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/npr.brightspotcdn-1-copy-6.jpg 1600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/npr.brightspotcdn-1-copy-6-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/npr.brightspotcdn-1-copy-6-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/npr.brightspotcdn-1-copy-6-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/npr.brightspotcdn-1-copy-6-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An aerial view of the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Facility in Jena, La., Tuesday, April 8, 2025. \u003ccite>(Gerald Herbert/AP Photo)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Khalil, who has a green card, is a lawful permanent resident. In ordering Khalil’s deportation, Rubio relied on a rarely used federal statute from the 1950s that played a major role in shaping American immigration during the Cold War.

I would like these individuals to plead guilty, accept responsibility for what they did, make restitution to Stanford for the hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage they caused,” Rosen said. “I don’t know that it’s a case where I would want these individuals sitting in jail for these actions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The way I see it, they damaged and destroyed all of this property and caused all this vandalism, and I think that their punishment should be cleaning things up,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protesters, ranging in age from 19 to 32, are all U.S. citizens, Rosen said, a point of particular relevance given the Trump administration’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/04/08/student-visa-cancellations-trump-administration-bay-area/\">zealous push\u003c/a> to revoke the visas of international students linked to the pro-Palestinian movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday’s announcement comes a month after the DA’s office declined to \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/03/06/stanford-student-journalist-will-not-face-charges-related-to-june-protest-arrest-da-says/\">charge a student journalist\u003c/a> who was arrested along with the protesters in the president’s office on June 5. The decision follows a lengthy investigation that found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12023600/stanford-wont-discipline-student-journalist-arrested-during-pro-palestinian-protest\">\u003cem>Stanford Daily\u003c/em> reporter Dilan Gohill\u003c/a> was there to document the protest, not participate in it — an argument made by free speech groups, who for months demanded he be cleared of any criminal liability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This office supports a free press and recognizes that the law gives reporters latitude to do their jobs in keeping the public informed,” Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said in a statement last month announcing the decision. “We have no evidence that this student did anything other than cover this event as a journalist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the arrests, a number of Stanford student groups have rallied behind the 12 protesters, decrying the charges against them and slamming the university for considering such severe disciplinary action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During one campus demonstration in October, nearly 50 students held a “people’s tribunal” to protest the disciplinary proceedings and condemn the Board of Trustees’ refusal to divest from companies tied to Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Wheaton, a journalism law professor at Stanford and UC Berkeley, who has advised Stanford Daily reporters on First Amendment-related issues, said today’s charging decision should come as no big surprise. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It appears to be a pretty open and shut case of a trespass,” he said. “And if there was any damage done to the building, then it’s vandalism as well, neither of which is protected by the First Amendment right to peaceably assemble.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protesters chose to participate in an act of civil disobedience to fight against what they considered an injustice, Wheaton said. But it still means they broke the law, no matter how noble the cause. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, you break the law knowingly in order to make a point, and then you get arrested and charges may or may not be filed,” he said. “But you can’t complain about being charged.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/gzada\">\u003cem>Gilare Zada\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
