When asked about the controversial arrest of green card holder and Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil, White House Karoline Leavitt press secretary maintained that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has the right to revoke a green card or visa over “national security” interests.
Leavitt claimed that Khalil distributed “pro-Hamas propaganda fliers with the logo of Hamas,” but declined to give any more details.
“I have those fliers on my desk, they were provided to me by the Department of Homeland Security,” she said. “I thought about bringing them into this briefing room to share with all of you, but I didn’t think it was worth the dignity of this room,” she said.
