ICE arrests Palestinian activist in Manhattan apartment

Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and former Columbia University student, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Manhattan. His attorney stated that the arrest was based on a State Department order to revoke his green card. Khalil's detention follows increased scrutiny of Columbia University by the Trump administration, which has threatened to cut funding due to alleged antisemitism on campus. Khalil has been a prominent figure in pro-Palestinian protests at the university. He has been transferred to an immigration detention facility in New Jersey. His attorney reported that they have not received further details about the reasons for his detention.
