Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University student known for his participation in anti-Israel protests, was detained by federal agents soon after President Trump threatened to cut funding to colleges harboring illegal demonstrations. Enforcement by ICE was backed by the Department of Homeland Security, which cited Khalil's alleged connections to Hamas. Khalil's legal representative claimed agents attempted to revoke his student visa, only to pivot to disrupting his permanent residency status. This incident occurs amidst broader efforts to curb anti-Semitism and limit protest actions at educational institutions based on executive orders from the Trump administration.
The recent arrest of Mahmoud Khalil underscores federal actions against anti-Israel sentiments on college campuses amid heightened political tensions.
