Khalil to remain detained in Louisiana, judge decides

Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist, will remain in detention in Louisiana after a judge's ruling. He was detained by ICE in New York City for his involvement in campus protests. The judge has requested further arguments from both parties. Khalil, a permanent U.S. resident married to an American citizen, was briefly held in New Jersey before being moved to Louisiana. His case is separate from immigration court proceedings regarding his deportation and green card status. The U.S. government is pursuing deportation based on claims that Khalil's advocacy threatens national security. His lawyer argues that the detention limits his ability to defend Khalil, while protests against the arrest continue in New York City.
