Pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil detained by immigration agents
Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist and Columbia University graduate, was detained by federal immigration agents under Trump’s executive orders. His green card revocation is unusual, as it typically requires a criminal conviction. Khalil's wife, who is eight months pregnant, has been unable to find him at a New Jersey detention center. His arrest has drawn criticism from civil rights groups and immigrant advocates. Khalil, a key figure in Columbia's pro-Palestinian movement, has faced calls for deportation from some pro-Israel activists. He previously expressed concerns about being targeted by the Trump administration.
