Immigration agents arrest Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil

Federal immigration agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and former Columbia University student, on Saturday. This marks a significant escalation in the Trump administration's efforts to detain activists involved in protests against Israel. Khalil was taken from his university-owned apartment under orders to revoke his green card. His attorney stated that the arrest is linked to his participation in protests supporting Hamas, which the administration has labeled as a terrorist organization. Khalil's detention is notable as he is a legal permanent resident who has not been charged with a crime. His case has raised concerns among immigration experts about the legal basis for such actions against activists.
