In a stunning rebuke to activist lawfare and a rogue district judge, a federal appeals court has cleared the way to deport pro-Hamas agitator Mahmoud Khalil \u2014 and shattered a legal strategy the left has relied on for years. What began as a routine immigration case morphed into a constitutional showdown, with judges, activists, and the Trump administration locked in a high-stakes fight over who really controls America\u2019s borders.
