Columbia student claims kidnapping during federal detention

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 from the agents. Khalil's lawyers added President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio as defendants in the lawsuit. They argue that Khalil's treatment violated his rights, as he was denied access to a lawyer and faced harsh conditions during his detention. The Justice Department seeks to dismiss the lawsuit, stating that Khalil was detained under a law allowing deportation for potential foreign policy threats. Khalil's lawyers emphasize his concerns about missing the birth of his first child and his ability to continue advocating for Palestinian rights.
