The United States has no need or reason to tolerate within its borders non-citizen public supporters of Hamas, which the government officially defines as a terrorist group. Khalil had to affirm when entering the United States, and again when applying for a green card, that he was not a supporter of terror groups. He, apparently, lied.

  Speaking out against Israel is not supporting a terrorist group. Anyone advocating for his removal themselves on the grounds of speech is being distinctly less American than someone engaging in their 1A right.
