Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student, has been held in immigration custody since March, with his first meeting with his newborn occurring just before a pivotal court hearing. Khalil, a Syrian-Palestinian refugee, contends he was wrongfully detained due to his pro-Palestinian activism, despite having no criminal charges against him. His legal team claims misconduct on the government's part, challenging the legality of his detention. His case has garnered attention and protests, reflecting broader concerns over immigration policies and civil rights under the Trump administration.
Khalil's indefinite detention as part of Trump's immigration policies raises questions about his pro-Palestinian activism and the government's treatment of foreign nationals.
Despite not being charged with any crime, Khalil's arrest is seen as a targeting of his beliefs, prompting outrage and protests advocating for his release.
