Washington, D.C. — Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC responds to the unfolding situation of the detention and deportation of green card holder, Mahmoud Khalil, and the current threats to legal protections in this country.

“Donald Trump’s ongoing actions raise serious concerns about his disregard for the rule of law, exemplified by the recent detention and attempted deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder. The president’s unconscionably broad interpretation of his authority to deport green card holders undermines the principles of due process but also chills all lawful First Amendment expression, highlighting a troubling trend of prioritizing political agendas over legal protections and individual freedoms. Such actions threaten the foundational values of justice and fairness that underpin our democracy.”
