Filed Today: The National Jewish Advocacy Center’s Amicus Brief in Khalil v. Joyce
Our Naman Howell legal team, led by attorney Phillip M. Gordon along with Mark Altman, II, Abbi Harris, and David Brown, presented a comprehensive argument for why the deportation of non-citizens who advocate for terrorist organizations is both legally permissible and essential for national security.
The brief addresses critical constitutional questions at the intersection of immigration law, First Amendment rights, and national security interests - demonstrating why the Immigration and Nationality Act provides clear statutory authority for the government's position.
This case represents one of the first major legal challenges of a deportation following the October 7th attacks in Israel and sets important precedent for holding accountable those non-citizens who express support for designated foreign terrorist organizations within the United States.
