Pro-Palestinian student detained by U.S. immigration officials

Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian student at Columbia University, has been detained by U.S. immigration officials. His attorney claims he was taken from his university accommodation, despite being a legal permanent resident with a green card. Khalil's attorney stated that ICE agents revoked his student visa, but Khalil's status as a permanent resident contradicts this claim. His current location is unclear, as he was initially reported to be at a detention facility in New Jersey. Khalil's detention follows a recent executive order targeting individuals involved in pro-Palestinian protests. Columbia University has faced federal funding cuts due to accusations of not addressing antisemitism on campus amid ongoing tensions related to the Gaza conflict.
