Noor Abdalla attended an alternative graduation ceremony for students expelled or suspended for protesting Israel's actions in Gaza. Her husband, Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist, was arrested and detained by ICE amidst escalating tensions and doxxing campaigns against him. Within weeks of his arrest, many other students faced similar fates, reflecting a broader crackdown on political dissent. The atmosphere at the church was charged with solidarity, marked by emotional tributes to those fighting for Palestinian rights while Abdalla navigated the complexities of motherhood and activism.
Abdalla described the events leading to her husband's arrest as a 'doXXing campaign' that targeted him due to his activism related to the protests against Israel's actions.
The ceremony attendees displayed signs like 'FREE PALESTINE' as a form of solidarity with fellow students who faced repercussions for their political protests.
