Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist detained in the U.S., has missed the birth of his son due to immigration enforcement's refusal to allow his temporary release. His wife, Noor Abdalla, claims this decision aims to punish their family and silence Khalil’s activism. She emphasizes the emotional toll on them, asserting that Khalil’s current detention is part of a broader government effort to suppress pro-Palestinian voices under the Trump administration’s policies. Khalil, a Columbia University student, faces deportation due to allegations that his advocacy threatens U.S. efforts against anti-Semitism, which he denies.
Noor Abdalla stated that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's actions are designed to punish her family for Khalil's pro-Palestinian activism and silence dissent.
Khalil's detention reflects the broader government's crackdown on pro-Palestinian activists, undermining rights to free speech and assembly in the context of immigration enforcement.
