ICE arrests Palestinian activist at Columbia University

ICE agents arrested Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil at Columbia University on Saturday night. His attorney, Amy Greer, stated that Khalil holds a green card, not a student visa, and informed agents of his legal status during the arrest. Greer is challenging Khalil's detention and has filed a habeas corpus petition. She has been unable to determine his current location, as he may have been transferred to a facility in Louisiana after initially being taken to New Jersey. Columbia University confirmed reports of ICE activity on campus and stated that law enforcement requires a judicial warrant to enter non-public areas. The university emphasized its commitment to legal compliance and support for its students.
