Columbia University announced on Thursday that it expelled or suspended some of the students who occupied a campus building last year in protest of Israel's war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The Ivy League school in New York City also said it had temporarily revoked the diplomas of some students involved in the protests who have since graduated but did not provide additional information.
Khalil was initially held in New Jersey but has since been moved to Louisiana.
Columbia announced its decision in a campus-wide email sent on Thursday, according to The Associated Press.
The email came after the Trump administration stripped Columbia of more than $400 million in federal funding after what the government characterized as a failure to crack down on antisemitism on campus.
The funding decision came days after President Donald Trump threatened any school or university that "allows illegal protests," adding that "agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came."
"American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter," the president added.
