The federal judge blocking the deportation of pro-Hamas activist Mahmoud Khalil—a key instigator of alleged anti-semitic unrest and intimidation on the Columbia University campus—is the scion of a powerful and influential liberal family with ties to George Soros, Media Matters for America, and former President Barack Obama, The National Pulse can reveal.
U.S. District Court Judge Jesse M. Furman, who issued a temporary order preventing Khalil’s removal from the United States while he considers a habeas corpus challenge to the arrest filed by Khalil’s attorney, holds a deeply liberal political pedigree and even clashed with President Donald J. Trump during his first term. He was appointed by former President Obama in 2011.
