Detained Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil has been allowed to hold his 1-month-old son for the first time after a federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s efforts to keep the father and infant separated by a plexiglass divider.
The Palestinian rights advocate spoke at length as part of a 10-hour hearing Thursday as the U.S. attempts to deport him. A ruling in his case was not made.
A federal court in New Jersey issued an opinion ruling that the foreign policy grounds on which Mahmoud Khalil was detained are likely unconstitutional. The court held that Khalil is likely to succeed on the merits of his unconstitutional vagueness argument.
