A video shows the arrest of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil by immigration agents at his apartment near Columbia University. Khalil was detained for his involvement in anti-Israel protests, with agents stating he was under arrest and instructing him to comply. Khalil's wife, Noor Abdalla, who is pregnant, described the arrest as terrifying and felt it resembled a kidnapping. She reported that the agents did not provide their names or a warrant and threatened her during the incident. President Trump has vowed to deport Khalil, accusing him of supporting Hamas. The American Civil Liberties Union responded, stating that Khalil has not been charged with a crime and should be released immediately.
