Columbia graduate student detained by ICE after protests

Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian graduate student at Columbia University, was arrested by ICE agents at his home. He is currently detained and awaiting a hearing with a federal immigration judge. Khalil's student visa and green card are reportedly being revoked under a State Department order. His attorney has not received further details on the reasons for his detention. His arrest follows ongoing protests at Columbia regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict. Activists are advocating for his release, with an online petition gathering over 52,000 signatures.
