Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and former Columbia University graduate student, was arrested by federal immigration authorities despite being a legal permanent resident. His detainment comes shortly after President Trump's administration indicated a crackdown on student protests, raising fears of deportation and funding revocations for universities. Khalil's attorney asserts that authorities threatened his pregnant American wife during the arrest, and the revocation of his green card was issued without legal grounds. Khalil's case has received condemnation from local officials, and his legal team is pursuing court action.
"We will vigorously be pursuing Mahmoud's rights in court, and will continue our efforts to right this terrible and inexcusable - and calculated - wrong committed against him."
