President Trump's Department of Homeland Security just delivered a powerful message to campus radicals: spread Hamas propaganda on American soil, and you'll find yourself on a one-way ticket out of the country.

The agency announced Thursday that Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist and former Columbia University graduate student accused by the Trump administration of being pro-Hamas, will be deported to Algeria. This marks one of the first high-profile deportations under Secretary Kristi Noem's leadership at DHS.

Khalil became a recognizable face during the anti-Israel campus chaos that erupted across American universities following Hamas's October 7 terrorist attack on Israel. While Columbia's campus descended into an antisemitic circus, Khalil was among the agitators poisoning young minds with radical propaganda.

America First Means America ONLY

This deportation sends a crystal-clear message that the days of foreign nationals exploiting American educational institutions to spread terrorist-sympathizing rhetoric are over. Under the Biden regime, these campus radicals operated with impunity, turning prestigious universities into Hamas recruitment centers.

"We will not tolerate individuals who come to America and use our freedoms to promote terrorist organizations," a DHS spokesperson said, reflecting the Trump administration's zero-tolerance approach to anti-American agitators.

The timing couldn't be more perfect. As we mark the anniversary of January 6th—a day Democrats weaponized to persecute patriots—Trump's DHS is actually removing real threats to American values and safety.

"Every foreign national spreading Hamas propaganda should be packing their bags right now. This administration means business."

Columbia University, already under fire for its failure to protect Jewish students during the campus uprising, declined to comment on Khalil's deportation. The institution's silence speaks volumes about their complicity in harboring anti-American radicals.

This deportation represents exactly what Trump voters demanded: consequences for those who hate America while enjoying its benefits. Khalil can now spread his Hamas propaganda from Algeria, where it belongs.

How many more campus radicals are sweating bullets right now, knowing their free ride on the American taxpayer's dime is coming to an end?

My tax dollars shouldn't go toward educating people who hate America and our allies. Send them all back where they came from.

Question - do we know if this person was here on a student visa or had some other legal status? Either way, good riddance, but I'm curious about the legal process.

As someone who works in higher education, I've seen how these radical agitators poison campus discourse. Universities need to start revoking visas for students who engage in this behavior.

Finally! Actions have consequences. If you come here as a guest and promote hatred against our ally Israel, don't expect to stay.

Exactly right. We're way too lenient with foreign nationals who bite the hand that feeds them.
