Chairman Mast Issues Statement in Support of Trump Administration’s Arrest of Mahmoud Khalil

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast issued the following statement in support of the Trump administration’s arrest of Mahmoud Khalil.

“If Mahmoud Khalil told customs officers when he entered the U.S. that he was coming here to intimidate and harass American Jews, shout death to America, promote Hamas, and occupy campus buildings they would have not let him in.

We only have one nation and if we don’t defend it from all enemies foreign and domestic — nobody else will. I applaud President Trump and Secretary Rubio for leading with common sense and kicking terrorist sympathizers out of our country. It’s time for them all to leave.”
