Mahmoud Khalil detained, igniting free speech protests

Mahmoud Khalil, a permanent U.S. resident and pro-Palestinian activist, has been moved to an immigration detention center in Louisiana after his arrest by federal officials. His lawyer plans to challenge the detention. Khalil, who recently graduated from Columbia University, was taken over 1,000 miles from his home in New York City. His arrest has sparked protests and a petition for his release. President Trump announced Khalil's arrest on social media, indicating it is part of a broader crackdown on campus activities he deems antisemitic. Faculty and community leaders are condemning the arrest as unconstitutional.
