Palestinian student activist detained by immigration officials

Immigration officials detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian student activist at Columbia University, at his home. This follows orders from the State Department to revoke his student visa and green card, which is uncommon for legal residents. Khalil, who led anti-Israel protests last spring, is now facing immigration issues. Columbia University stated it would comply with federal law while supporting the rights of its students. This arrest aligns with the Trump administration's actions against international students involved in protests. The administration recently canceled $400 million in federal grants to Columbia for not addressing antisemitism on campus.
