Judge halts deportation of pro-Palestinian activist Khalil

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist and Columbia University graduate. This decision comes after Khalil was arrested by ICE agents, who claimed his green card was under threat. Khalil's arrest occurred shortly after President Trump celebrated it, warning of more arrests of similar activists. The judge's order prevents Khalil's removal from the U.S. until at least the next court hearing on Wednesday. Khalil's detention has raised concerns among activists, especially as he was arrested in front of his pregnant wife. The situation highlights ongoing tensions surrounding pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University and the Trump administration's immigration policies.
