Federal agents arrest Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil in New York
Federal agents arrested Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil in New York, as shown in a newly released video. Khalil, a Columbia University graduate student, was taken into custody in his apartment building, prompting protests and concerns over free speech. Khalil's detention follows a Justice Department investigation into Columbia University for allegedly harboring undocumented immigrants. Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked Khalil's U.S. residency, citing his involvement in pro-Palestinian protests. Khalil is currently held in a detention center in Louisiana. His lawyers claim he was denied access to legal counsel during his arrest and transport. Khalil's wife, who is pregnant, expressed fear for her husband's safety and their future.
