Democrats now support free speech after Khalil's arrest
Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate, was arrested by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Saturday. He is accused of leading protests that turned chaotic last year. His green card was reportedly revoked, leading to his detention. The arrest follows the Trump administration's recent decision to cut $400 million in grants to Columbia University over alleged inaction on anti-Semitism. This has sparked a debate about free speech versus actions deemed anti-American or anti-Israel. Democratic representatives criticized the arrest, calling it "un-American." The situation has raised questions about the treatment of protesters and the implications for free speech on college campuses.
