He's a permanent legal resident.

Trump accused Khalil and other protesters of engaging in pro-terrorist activities and of being paid agitators, but has not provided evidence of those allegations. Last spring, Khalil was often the face of the student protest movement, sharing their goals with media and negotiating with university leaders over how to end the tent encampment on campus. Here he is speaking with reporters in April.
