ICE arrests Palestinian leader for campus protest involvement
Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and former Columbia University student, was arrested by ICE agents at his campus apartment. He faces potential visa revocation and green card cancellation amid a crackdown on campus protests. Khalil's arrest follows his involvement in anti-Israel protests at Columbia and Barnard College. His attorney reported that ICE agents threatened to arrest his pregnant wife during the incident. Columbia University stated it would not cooperate with ICE unless legally required. Khalil's detention has raised concerns about the enforcement of immigration policies targeting foreign students involved in protests.
