Lawyers for Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist and legal permanent resident facing deportation over his campus protests, have filed to remove Judge Emil Bove from an appeals panel in his case. Khalils team argues Boves past role in probing student protesters creates a conflict of interest. Bove, a former top Justice Department official and Trump defense lawyer, joined the Third Circuit Court of Appeals last September. Khalil, who was detained for three months and missed his sons birth, is now out and arguing his arrest was due to free speech on Palestine and Gaza. The government claims his activism aligns with Hamas, but no evidence has been shown. The Justice Department says no recusal is needed, but Bove has not commented. This recusal push keeps Khalils constitutional fight alive, testing the limits of free speech in immigration battles.
