Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University student, is challenging his deportation after being arrested for his involvement in pro-Palestinian protests. He is currently held in an immigration facility in Louisiana. President Donald Trump stated that Khalil's arrest is the "first of many" as his administration targets activists involved in campus protests against Israel. Trump has called for universities to comply with his administration's stance on these protests. The US Education Department warned universities they could lose federal funding if they do not address antisemitism. Khalil's arrest has sparked protests, with demonstrators calling for his release and criticizing the government's actions as an attack on free speech.
