A video released by Mahmoud Khalil's lawyers shows his arrest by immigration agents at Columbia University on March 8. His wife recorded the incident, stating he was not resisting and questioning the agents about their identities. Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist, is currently held in Louisiana without charges. His lawyers claim agents initially said his student visa was revoked, despite him holding a green card. Khalil's wife described the arrest as terrifying, noting the agents did not show a warrant or identify themselves. The White House has accused Khalil of supporting Hamas, which his legal team denies. He is scheduled to appear before an immigration judge on March 27.
