Pro-Palestinian student detained by U.S. immigration officials
Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian student, was detained by U.S. immigration officials at his college accommodation. His attorney claims he is a legal permanent resident and was informed his student visa was revoked, despite being married to a U.S. citizen. Khalil's current location is unclear after being initially reported at an ICE facility in New Jersey. His attorney expressed concern over his treatment and potential transfer to a facility in Louisiana. This detention follows a January executive order from President Trump targeting individuals involved in pro-Hamas protests. The situation has sparked controversy at Columbia University, where some students have accused protests of crossing into antisemitism.
