Paris — French authorities may well manage to track down and arrest the thieves who pulled off an audacious robbery of royal crown jewels from Paris’ iconic Louvre museum, but they’re unlikely to recover the national treasures, a criminologist told CBS News on Tuesday.

Mahmoud Khalil appeared Tuesday in a federal appeals court in Philadelphia as he continues to challenge a deportation case brought by President Donald Trump’s administration over his pro-Palestinian activism at Columbia University. The hearing before the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals came as the government seeks to overturn a lower court order granting Khalil’s June release from a Louisiana immigration jail.
