Federal agents arrested Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil in New York

Federal agents arrested Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil in a video released on Friday. The arrest occurred in his apartment building lobby, where agents confronted him and placed him in handcuffs despite his calm demeanor and requests for identification. Khalil's detention has led to protests nationwide. His wife, Noor Abdalla, described the incident as terrifying, claiming agents refused to show a warrant or identify themselves. The Justice Department is investigating whether Columbia University concealed illegal immigrants on campus. Khalil, a lawful U.S. resident, was moved to a detention facility in Louisiana.
