Hundreds support Columbia student's fight against deportation

Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and green card holder, is facing deportation due to his advocacy for Palestinian rights. He was arrested and moved to a detention center in Louisiana, away from his pregnant wife. A federal judge temporarily halted his deportation but Khalil remains in detention. His lawyers argue that the case against him is unprecedented and raises concerns about free speech and due process. Hundreds rallied outside the courthouse in support of Khalil, condemning the government's actions. His legal team plans to file new arguments addressing constitutional violations related to his arrest and detention.
