#186 - Mahmoud Khalil - Hamas or Free Speech?

Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and Columbia University graduate with a green card, was arrested by ICE on March 9, 2025, at his university-owned apartment in New York.

The arrest, part of President Trump’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian campus activism, occurred without criminal charges, amid claims his residency status was revoked.

He was detained and transferred to a facility in Louisiana, sparking free speech concerns.
