Former Clinton Administrative Justice Department official Harry Litman said Friday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s decision to cancel the green card of pro Hamas protestors would likely be upheld by the court.
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has detained Mahmoud Khalil, who is reportedly led the Pro Hamas protest at Columbia University, after a green card. It was cancelled By Rubio. Litman said the cancellation of Halil’s green card and visas for other pro-Hamas protesters in the US were probably not “second guess.” (Related: Jonathan Turley highlights Trump Administrator’s strongest argument for deporting Pro Hamas protesters)
“Halil has a green card so the students picked it up this morning. I picked it up this morning. There are restrictions. Jose says that the Secretary of State has two different things that someone is going on here, and the terrorists have two different things, Diaz Barrato. “And there are a lot of laws that say they’re not going to go for a second guess, or that they may never guess Rubio’s judgment about that fact again, are they a risk to national security?”

“So, in the latest case, there’s a head-on attack on actual regulations, as it’s so clear that what happened here is based solely on the first revision activity. Halil was one of the organizers of the demonstrations, and the person who picked it up this morning wrote the OP-ED,” continued Littman. “And based on that, Rubio made this decision. It’s really how it matches this decision with the first revision activity that pauses here. But it may be the aspect of the regulatory scheme that is the most difficult to challenge.”
Pro-Hamas demonstrations at multiple universities and universities have taken shape since the attack on October 7, 2023 by Hamas, which killed more than 1,200 people in Israel.

Rubio appeared on October 17, 2023 in “Ingraham’s Angle,” where he was still a Florida Senator, seeking visas for foreign students who supported Hamas’ actions.
“The law says if you’re a supporter of a terrorist organization, you shouldn’t even have a visa,” Rubio told Fox News host Laura Ingraham during his appearance. “So, now, once you get that visa, if you identify yourself as a Hamas supporter, you will need to cancel your visa and you should be excluded from the country.”
Rubio has revoked more than 300 student visas since becoming Secretary of State, but Litman focuses on two students, Halil and Lu Mesa Ozturk, who were detained for “activities to support Hamas.” These cases are currently being contested in federal courts, Associated Press It has been reported.
Litman, who? Resignation As a Los Angeles Times opinion writer after the outlet claimed it was “infiltrating” Trump, the court said it would not “a second guess” Rubio’s decision to cancel the visa.

“There is precedent in using the law without questioning the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State has signed a paper. I think this person is a national security risk,” Littman said. “Now, don’t forget that we’re talking about the immigration situation. And, as Rubio said, as you know, visas, especially student visas, even green cards, are very different to someone charging a crime.”
“But the precedent is that if the Secretary of State continues to allow them to be here, someone decides that it’s dangerous. The real thing that animates these protesters doesn’t often suggest that, from what we know, these two have serious risks to national security,” continued Littman. “But what reg is saying is that’s the appeal that Rubio does, not the court. Is the court the person you’ve been named? Is it a regulatory constitution?
