Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist, is suing the Trump administration for $20 million due to his unlawful arrest, detention, and deportation. He underscores the importance of accountability for political retaliation, expressing that the trauma from his 104 days of detention is irreplaceable. Khalil emphasizes his resolve to seek justice not only for himself but against anyone who has attempted to undermine him, including entities at Columbia University. Khalil was unlawfully accosted by federal agents outside his home, marking a serious escalation in government actions against political dissenters.
"This is the first step towards accountability... the trauma, the separation from my wife, the birth of my first child that I was forced to miss."
"I won't stop here. I will continue to pursue justice against everyone who contributed to my unlawful detention or spread lies in an attempt to destroy my reputation."
