ICE transferred activist Khalil from New York to Louisiana

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has transferred Mahmoud Khalil from New York to a detention facility in Louisiana, disrupting his legal proceedings. His attorneys claim this move was retaliatory, limiting his access to legal representation and family. Khalil, a green card holder and activist, was arrested without a formal warrant. He has not been charged with a crime, and his case is now in a jurisdiction that typically favors the government in immigration matters. His attorneys are seeking to reverse the transfer and return him to New York. Khalil's arrest has sparked widespread protests and an online petition that has gathered nearly 2 million signatures advocating for his release.
