University of Chicago students protest ICE detention case

Students at the University of Chicago protested on Tuesday in support of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Khalil faces a deportation hearing after being arrested following a protest. Activists claim Khalil, a legal permanent resident, was detained under an outdated law linking his views to terrorism. The American Civil Liberties Union is defending him, stating he protested against the Israeli government's actions, not in support of Hamas. The Trump administration plans to increase arrests of college protesters. University students are demanding the university and local authorities drop disciplinary actions against two of their peers involved in the protests.
