Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University student, was arrested by federal immigration agents in New York and taken to an immigration jail in Louisiana. His arrest follows a State Department order to revoke his green card. President Trump welcomed Khalil's arrest, stating it is the "first of many" and emphasized targeting students involved in pro-Palestinian protests. He claimed these individuals engage in anti-American and anti-Semitic activities. A federal judge in New York has temporarily blocked Khalil's deportation until a court conference on Wednesday. This legal action comes amid Trump's efforts to combat antisemitism on college campuses.
