Columbia grad Mahmoud Khalil detained by ICE

Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and Columbia University graduate, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Saturday. His detention follows his involvement in protests advocating for the university to divest from Israel. Khalil's lawyer stated that ICE agents were ordered to revoke his student visa, despite his claim of being a permanent resident. His wife, who is pregnant, was present during the arrest. Khalil's current location is unknown after being moved from a New Jersey detention center to one in Louisiana. A federal judge has blocked efforts to deport Khalil and scheduled a hearing for Wednesday. His case highlights ongoing tensions surrounding protests related to the Israel-Hamas conflict and the government's response to student activism.
