Khalil detained without charges, wife regrets dismissing concerns
Mahmoud Khalil's wife expressed regret for dismissing his fears about potential arrest by ICE agents. Khalil was detained without a warrant while returning to their apartment, with agents threatening to revoke his green card and arrest his wife if she did not comply. Khalil is currently held in a Louisiana ICE facility, with no criminal charges against him. His lawyers are seeking to communicate with him and have filed an emergency petition for his return to New York City, where the legality of his arrest is being challenged. A judge has temporarily blocked efforts to deport Khalil while reviewing his case. Khalil's wife criticized the government's actions, stating he was taken from their home for advocating for his people's rights.
