Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian student, was detained by DHS agents in New York without any criminal charges, claiming his residency status was revoked. Following his detention, he was moved to an ICE jail in Louisiana, far from his pregnant wife. Legal debates are ongoing about where his deportation case should be litigated, with his attorneys emphasizing the need for him to remain in New Jersey and challenging the legality of his detention. The outcome could significantly impact Khalil's future and raise broader implications regarding immigration enforcement.
Mahmoud Khalil must be freed. The government's unlawful decision to arrest and transfer him to a remote immigration jail in Louisiana is a punitive and coercive tactic.
Khalil's detention was 'Kafkaesque.' His lawyers argue for him to remain in New Jersey where he filed a habeas corpus petition.
