Statement from NYGOP Chair Ed Cox on the Deportation of Mahmoud Kahlil

 

NYGOP Chair: New Yorkers won't forget Democrats silence and cowardice

“The deportation of Mahmoud Kahlil should not be controversial. Foreigners here on student visas or green cards should be removed if they support terrorist organizations.

 

"Kathy Hochul and Letitia James side with a man who openly supports Hamas, rather than with the safety and security of New Yorkers, especially Jewish students on campus. Their disgraceful support for this enemy of Western civilization underscores how deeply unserious they are about protecting our citizens from foreign threats.

 

"Every New Yorker deserves to know where self-styled ‘moderate’ Democrats stand. Tom Suozzi, Laura Gillen, Pat Ryan, Josh Riley and John Mannion must answer a simple question: Do they stand with the victims of terrorism, or do they stand with foreign extremists who advocate for it? New Yorkers will not forget their silence - or their cowardice.”
