Noor Abdalla, wife of detained Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil, accused federal immigration officials of deliberately denying her husband's request to attend their child's birth. Khalil, a legal permanent resident and outspoken activist supporting Palestinian freedom, remains in detention after being labeled a national security risk. Abdalla criticized ICE for causing family distress during a critical time, indicating a broader concern regarding the political motivations behind Khalil's detention. His legal team plans to appeal the recent immigration judge's ruling which supports the government's stance against him.
Noor Abdalla stated that ICE's decision to deny her husband's temporary release was a purposeful act to make them all suffer during their time of need.
Abdalla emphasized that ICE, under the Trump administration, had effectively stolen critical moments from their family, interpreting it as an attempt to silence her husband's activism.
