Activism in Peril: Columbia Graduate Faces Deportation

Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and recent graduate from Columbia University, is facing deportation after his arrest by ICE agents. Khalil, a green card holder, has not been charged with any crime. His arrest is linked to his anti-genocide protests and broader anti-war activism on campus.

Mahmoud Khalil, a prominent Palestinian activist and recent Columbia University graduate, faces deportation following his arrest by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents last weekend.

Khalil, celebrated for his leadership in student protests, was detained under President Donald Trump's directives targeting perceived antisemitic activities.

The activist's detention has unsettled academics and civil rights groups alike, amid fears of a broader crackdown on free speech and international students' rights in America.
