Khalil, a legal permanent resident and Columbia University student activist, faced a shocking turn of events when ICE agents arrested him based on claims of visa violations. His attorney noted that despite Khalil's status, agents tried revoking both his student visa and green card. Following his detention, there were conflicting accounts regarding his whereabouts, leading to concern regarding the mechanisms of his arrest, particularly amidst accusations of harassment targeting pro-Palestine activists. Columbia University emphasized the necessity of judicial warrants for law enforcement on campus, highlighting tensions surrounding Khalil's case amidst broader political contexts.
"An agent informed her...that they were executing an order from the State Department to revoke Khalil's student visa...they were pulling his green card too."
"A petition calling for Khalil's immediate release said he has been the target of various zionist harassment campaigns that serve to instill fear in pro-Palestine activists."
