By Jonah E. Bromwich
June 20, 2025"On Friday, Judge Farbiarz rebuked the government mildly, noting that it had offered no evidence to suggest that Mr. Khalil was a danger to his community. The administration’s claims about his links to, or even sympathies for, Hamas have not been substantiated in court.
“He is not a danger to the community, period, full stop,” the judge said."
“Justice will prevail”. Not until the whole rotten US administration is behind bars it won’t.
How long before ICE picks him up again?
It won’t. But I respect his noble declaration nonetheless.
Justice? In the US?
