Palestinian Activist Mahmoud Khalil's Arrest Sparks Legal and Political Controversy

Khalil, a lawful U.S. resident, was detained by ICE agents over his pro-Palestinian advocacy, raising First Amendment concerns and sparking protests nationwide.

• Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and green card holder, was detained by ICE agents on Saturday without a judicial warrant and moved to a detention center in Louisiana.
• The Trump administration alleges Khalil's pro-Palestinian activism, including organizing protests, poses a threat to U.S. foreign policy and national security, though no criminal charges have been filed.
• Legal experts argue Khalil's detention violates his First Amendment rights, as his advocacy does not constitute material support for terrorism under U.S. law.
• Progressive lawmakers and activists, including Jewish student groups, have condemned the arrest as political repression aimed at silencing dissenting voices on Palestine.
• A federal judge has temporarily blocked Khalil's deportation, pending a legal review, as protests and legal challenges continue to mount.
