"An immigration judge has ordered Mahmoud Khalil be deported to Algeria or Syria, alleging he omitted information from his green card application, according to court documents filed Wednesday."

"Immigration Judge Jamee Comans, based out of Jena, Louisiana, on Friday denied Khalil's motion for a waiver preventing his removal from the United States because of alleged misrepresentations made in an application for an adjustment of status."

"She doubled down on that ruling, saying the court found Khalil’s “lack of candor on his I-485 form was not an oversight by an uninformed, uneducated applicant.” The form is an application to register permanent residence or adjust status."

“Rather, this Court finds that Respondent willfully misrepresented material fact(s) for the sole purpose of circumventing the immigration process and reducing the likelihood his applications could be denied. This Court cannot and will not condone such an action by granting a discretionary waiver,” Comans said."

As most here probably know, Immigration judges are not life-tenured Article III Judges within the US Judiciary. They are Article II Executive Branch employees.
