DHS arrests student protester at Columbia University

A Palestinian graduate student, Mahmoud Khalil, was arrested by Department of Homeland Security agents at Columbia University. His arrest follows the Trump administration's recent cancellation of $400 million in grants to the university over antisemitism allegations. Khalil was a key figure in pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia and had been negotiating with school officials. His detention marks a significant action by the Trump administration against foreign students involved in these protests. Columbia University stated it could not share details about individual students. Khalil's arrest raises concerns among fellow students about government targeting of pro-Palestinian activists.
