Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student and activist against the war in Gaza, has been arrested by ICE. Officials claim his protests align with Hamas, citing Trump’s orders against antisemitism. His detention has sparked outrage and concern about targeting student activism, with his wife unable to find him and advocates condemning the administration's actions as an attack on free speech. Khalil's case exemplifies the administration's strict stance on immigration and opposition to support for Palestinian rights on college campuses.
The Trump administration's outrageous detention of Mahmoud is designed to instill terror in students speaking out for Palestinian freedom and immigrant communities.
Khalil's attorney said ICE agents hung up the phone during the detainment when she asked if they had a warrant.
