Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist, submitted a claim for $20 million in damages against the Trump administration for alleged false imprisonment and malicious prosecution related to his activism. He recalls the painful experience in immigration jail while awaiting his son's birth. Khalil aims to hold authorities accountable for what he perceives as an abuse of power. He expresses willingness to share any settlement funds with others similarly targeted and seeks either a settlement or an official apology and changes in deportation policies.
"I cannot describe the pain of that night. This is something I will never forgive."
"They are abusing their power because they think they are untouchable. Unless they feel there is some sort of accountability, it will continue to go unchecked."
