ICE Arrests Palestinian Activist Mahmoud Khalil at Columbia University
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and green card holder, at Columbia University in New York. Khalil, known for leading anti-Israel protests on campus, was apprehended on charges related to his immigration status, sparking widespread discussion about the intersection of activism and immigration enforcement.
The arrest, which occurred amidst heightened tensions over the Israel-Gaza conflict, has drawn criticism from civil rights groups and supporters of Khalil, who argue that it represents an overreach by ICE and an attempt to silence dissent. Khalil had been vocal in his opposition to Israel's policies and had organized several protests at Columbia University in recent months.
The case has reignited debates about the rights of non-citizens to engage in political activism and the role of immigration enforcement in such situations. Khalil's supporters are calling for his release and are planning further protests to demand accountability from ICE and the university administration.
