Protests Erupt Over Detention of Palestinian Activist Mahmoud Khalil in the U.S.

Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and permanent resident, faces deportation under a rarely used immigration law despite not being charged with a crime.

• Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and green card holder, was detained by ICE agents in New York and transferred to a detention facility in Louisiana.
• The Trump administration alleges Khalil's pro-Palestinian activism, including his leadership in campus protests, aligns with Hamas, though no evidence has been presented in court.
• Hundreds of protesters, including Jewish groups, staged sit-ins at Trump Tower and other demonstrations across the U.S., calling for Khalil’s release and condemning his detention as an attack on free speech.
• Legal experts and Khalil’s attorneys argue his detention violates First Amendment protections and is a misuse of a foreign policy-based immigration law provision.
• A federal judge has temporarily blocked Khalil’s deportation, and his legal team is fighting to have his case moved back to New York from Louisiana.
