A federal judge in New York has intervened to prevent the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a recent Columbia University graduate being held in a Louisiana detention center. Khalil, who participated in pro-Palestinian protests, faces detention not for criminal charges, but due to the Trump administration's claims of "national security interests." His lawyers swiftly filed a petition against the arrest. In turn, Trump announced plans to deport more students he describes as agitators, bringing attention to university support for its students' rights during such incidents.
A federal judge has temporarily halted the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia graduate detained by ICE, citing national security concerns.
