The Trump administration has accused Khalil, a green card holder, of withholding information about his membership in certain organizations, including that he was a political officer of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency of Palestine Refugees and that he was part of Columbia University Apartheid Divest. Furthermore, the Trump administration said he failed to disclose his previous employment at the Syria Office in the British Embassy in Beirut in his permanent residency application last year.

The Trump administration had accused Khalil of withholding information that he was a “political affairs officer” for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency of Palestine Refugees, but he was an unpaid intern at the agency for six months in 2023. No such position exists at the agency.

Homeland Security officials also accused Khalil of failing to disclose his “continuing employment” with the Syria office in the British Embassy in Beirut “beyond 2022.”

His lawyers argue that he ended his contract at the British Embassy in Beirut in December 2022 so that he could attend Columbia.

Officials also accused Khalil of failing to disclose that he is a “member” of Columbia University Apartheid Divest. Evidence submitted by the government includes news articles from April 2024, though his application was submitted weeks earlier.
