Palestinian activist's arrest raises deportation concerns

The arrest of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil has raised concerns about the protections for foreign students and green card holders in the U.S. Khalil was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, linked to his role in protests against the Gaza war. Khalil, a green card holder, is being held in Louisiana while awaiting immigration court proceedings. Officials have suggested his activism may be grounds for deportation, despite him not being charged with any crime. The next steps involve Khalil receiving formal charges and a notice to appear in court. Delays in the immigration court system may affect the timeline for his case.
