Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and green card holder, was arrested in New York after being targeted by pro-Israel activists. An alumnus of Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs, Khalil led protests against the Gaza war and communicated his fears of harassment and deportation to university officials. Despite being married to a US citizen and expecting a child, he was apprehended by ICE agents who claimed they were acting on a State Department order, leading to his current detention in Louisiana. His case highlights rising tensions around international student activism.
I haven't been able to sleep, fearing that ICE or a dangerous individual might come to my home. I urgently need legal support.
It felt like a scene from a movie I never signed up to watch.
