Activists gathered outside the Trump Building in Manhattan to protest the detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student and pro-Palestine activist. Apprehended by ICE, Khalil's arrest has sparked outrage as protesters assert it undermines free speech. A federal judge has ordered his case to be moved to New Jersey while blocking his deportation. Khalil's wife, Dr. Noor Abdall, emphasized the family's hope for his early release. The protests reflect broader concerns regarding the implications of governmental actions on civil liberties.
Khalil's legal team has sought his release on bail, leaving him hopeful that he will be able to return home in time for the birth of his child.
This is a first step, but we need to continue to demand justice for Mahmoud. His unlawful and unjust detention cannot stand.
