Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian student from Columbia University known for his leadership in protests, was recently detained by ICE under orders from the Trump Administration. His legal team has announced he will temporarily remain in custody while hearings are ongoing. The situation outside the courthouse drew significant attention, with supporters demonstrating vigorously on his behalf, including actress Susan Sarandon, who emphasized the importance of freedom of speech in this pivotal moment for civil liberties in the U.S. The broader implications of such detentions continue to spark passionate discourse regarding rights and activism.
"Freedom of speech is something that affects all of us; it is a right that we all have, and this is a turning point in this history and freedom of this country," Sarandon said.
During Khalil's hearing, hundreds of supporters and journalists gathered outside, demonstrating the immense public interest and emotional weight surrounding his detention.
