Palestinian activist arrested despite holding green card

Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and former Columbia University student, has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). His detention comes despite his permanent residency status, and his lawyers are unaware of his current location. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the arrest, linking it to Khalil's activism, which they claim aligns with Hamas. Trump administration officials, including Marco Rubio, stated they will revoke visas of individuals supporting Hamas. Khalil's wife, who is pregnant, has been unable to visit him, and his attorney reported difficulties in obtaining information from ICE. Critics argue that this action threatens free speech and due process rights in the U.S.
