Published Mar 13, 2025, 7:00 AM

In this episode, Seth Leibsohn welcomes Andrew C. McCarthy, a respected legal educator and former federal prosecutor, to discuss the case of Mahmud Khalil, a former Columbia student facing deportation for alleged terrorist activity. McCarthy argues that Khalil's actions, such as mediating between protesters and the university, go beyond protected free speech and may constitute extortion or material support for terrorism, providing legal grounds for deportation despite claims of First Amendment protections.
