"On Friday, Judge Farbiarz rebuked the government mildly, noting that it had offered no evidence to suggest that Mr. Khalil was a danger to his community. The administration’s claims about his links to, or even sympathies for, #Hamas have not been substantiated in court.
“He is not a danger to the community, period, full stop,” the judge said."
