Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil detained by ICE

Mahmoud Khalil, a 29-year-old Palestinian activist and legal U.S. resident, was arrested by federal agents after his green card was revoked by the Trump administration. He was detained in Louisiana, with a hearing scheduled for Wednesday. Khalil, who recently completed his master's degree at Columbia University, has been involved in pro-Palestinian protests on campus. His attorney claims his arrest violates his First Amendment rights, while the Trump administration views his activism as supportive of Hamas. Protests have erupted in New York City demanding Khalil's release, with over 1.7 million people signing a petition. The Anti-Defamation League supports the administration's actions against antisemitism but emphasizes the need for due process in deportation cases.
