Columbia student claims kidnapping by federal agents

Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student, claims he felt kidnapped during his detention by federal agents. His lawyers filed a lawsuit after he was transported from New York to Louisiana without proper identification and left in poor conditions. Khalil's lawyers added former President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as defendants in the lawsuit. They argue that Khalil's detention violates his rights, as he was not allowed to communicate with his attorney for several days. The Justice Department seeks to dismiss the lawsuit, stating that Khalil was detained under a law allowing deportation for potential foreign policy risks. Khalil's situation raises concerns about his ability to advocate for Palestinian rights and his upcoming family responsibilities.
