Mahmoud Khalil's wife, Dr. Noor Abdalla, gave birth to their first child while he remains detained in Louisiana due to immigration issues related to his activism. Khalil, a legal resident, was arrested by ICE over his pro-Palestinian protests and subsequently had his green card revoked. His lawyer’s request for temporary release to be with his family was denied. Abdalla expresses anguish over Khalil's absence during this critical time, pledging to fight for his return and emphasizing his importance as a father. Their situation raises significant concerns about the intersection of immigration enforcement and family rights.
My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud. ICE and the Trump administration have stolen these precious moments from our family in an attempt to silence Mahmoud's support for Palestinian freedom.
I will continue to fight every day for Mahmoud to come home to us. I know when Mahmoud is freed, he will show our son how to be brave, thoughtful, and compassionate, just like his dad.
