Court won't revisit ruling opening door to pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil's rearrest

A ​divided ​federal appeals ‌court on Friday ​declined to reconsider a ‌ruling in Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil's case that opened ‌the door to President Donald ‌Trump's administration re-arresting and deporting the pro-Palestinian activist.

The 3rd ⁠U.S. ​Circuit ⁠Court of Appeals on a ⁠6-5 vote rejected Khalil's request to ​revisit a ruling a ⁠2-1 panel of the Philadelphia-based court ⁠delivered ​in January that had concluded a lower-court ⁠judge had no jurisdiction to ⁠order ⁠his release from immigration detention last year.
