scmp.com —
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian student at Columbia University, marks the beginning of more arrests. Khalil faces deportation after being detained by federal immigration agents. Trump stated that the administration will target other students involved in what he described as pro-terrorist activities. He emphasized a commitment to deport individuals he labels as "terrorist sympathisers." Khalil was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents over the weekend. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the arrest, linking it to Trump's executive orders against antisemitism. Khalil has not been charged with a crime.
