Lawyers for Mahmoud Khalil on Friday asked a federal judge to order the release of the Columbia University protester from an immigration lockup, saying the Trump administration missed an appeal deadline.

In a letter to U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz in New Jersey, the lawyers said Khalil has satisfied all the court’s requirements, including posting a $1 bond, while the lawyers for the government missed a 9:30 a.m. deadline the judge set Wednesday.

In response to the letter, the judge gave the government until 1:30 p.m. Friday to formally reply to the request to free Khalil.

The lawyers also say the government has declined to provide information about plans for Khalil’s release and hasn’t shown any other grounds for his continued detainment other than the reasons Farbiarz has already dismissed.

For fuck's sake! If Khalil's lawyers had missed a deadline, you can bet your ass that he'd lose the case, but the swindlers and thugs who kidnapped him just get a free extension 🤬
