ICE arrests Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia University protests, his lawyer says

[C_Clayton_Jones]

"Federal immigration authorities arrested a Palestinian graduate student who played a prominent role in last spring’s anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, according to his attorney.

Mahmoud Khalil was inside his university-owned residence Saturday night near Columbia’s Manhattan campus when several Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered the building and took him into custody, his attorney, Amy Greer, told The Associated Press.

Greer said she spoke by phone with one of the ICE agents during the arrest, who said they were acting on State Department orders to revoke Khalil’s student visa. Informed by the attorney that Khalil was in the United States as a permanent resident with a green card, the agent said they were revoking that too, according to the lawyer.

The arrest appeared to be among the first known actions under President Donald Trump’s pledge to deport international students who joined the protests against Israel’s war in Gaza that swept college campuses last spring. His administration has claimed participants forfeited their rights to remain in the country by supporting Hamas, a terror organization."

The fascist Trump regime at its most authoritarian.

The unlawful, unwarranted detention of an immigrant lawfully in the country exercising his First Amendment right to freedom of expression.

And like the fascist thug he is, Trump is attempting to silence dissent and lawful protest.

Why is this bad news, OP? Trump is taking steps to reduce the illegal actions the antisemites are taking on campus by which they are inciting violence toward and bullying of Jews.

Some countries do not permit any political speech by non citizens. Hamas is a terrorist organization. Deport those that advance the cause of terrorism.

 

[Lisa558]

Leave it to a radical leftist like the OP to defend the “right” of a Muslim foreigner to incite violence against American Jews.

Neo-Marxist Democrats claim they are against racism, anti-semitism, and anti-christianity yet they seem to be the primary source of all.

ICE arrests Palestinian leader of Columbia’s anti-Israel protests, revoking student visa and green card: lawyer.
By Chris Nesi. March 9, 2025

President Trump is giving this anti-Israel campus rabble-rouser a ticket to study abroad — for good.

A Palestinian activist who led a coalition of twisted radicals seeking the “total eradication of Western Civilization” responsible for riotous protests at Columbia University and Barnard College has been arrested by ICE agents, according to his lawyer.

Columbia University Apartheid[sic] [PALLYWEID] Divest leader Mahmoud Khalil, who completed his graduate studies at Ivy League Columbia in December, also potentially faces having his visa revoked and his green card canceled following President Trump’s crackdown on unrest at colleges, attorney Amy Greer said Sunday.

He was inside his university-owned apartment a few blocks from campus Saturday night when ICE agents entered the residence and took him into custody, Greer said.

Despite graduating months ago, Khalil, who earned his undergraduate degree in Beirut, still lived in school-provided housing due to a policy allowing students to remain on campus after graduating, a source told The Post.

He has remained active in recent disruptive protests, including last week’s takeover of the Milstein Library at Barnard College. Videos and photographs posted on X depict him holding a bullhorn near the library entrance and engaged in discussion with school administrators.

That protest featured violent propaganda flyers that purportedly came directly from the “Hamas Media Office,” including one pamphlet titled “Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood,” which justified the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people — and in which women were repeatedly raped, whole families were executed and 251 hostages were taken to the Gaza Strip.

Others at the Barnard library takeover passed around trading card-like photos of notorious Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon last September.
