On April 2, a group of Jewish students protested against the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a legal U.S. resident, by chaining themselves to the gates of St. Paul's Chapel at Columbia University. Khalil's detention has been perceived as retaliatory due to his involvement in pro-Palestine protests. The demonstrators are calling for transparency and accountability from the university regarding the disclosure of Khalil’s identity to ICE, voicing concerns over civil rights violations linked to the detention and the chilling effect on student activism.
The detention of Khalil by ICE, despite his status as a legal permanent resident, is viewed by protesters as an attack on civil rights tied to his political activism.
Protesters are demanding transparency from Columbia University about who provided Khalil's name to ICE, highlighting concerns about student safety and institutional responsibility.
