With his attorney and a Columbia University student, Redi Tlhabi discusses Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest and the wider impact.
Mahmoud Khalil, a graduate of Columbia University and a pro-Palestine activist, was detained by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement this week for leading protests against the genocide in Gaza. Khalil, a permanent resident of the United States, is being held in Louisiana’s detention facility and facing deportation. Trump also claimed, “This is the first arrest of many to come,” and that the arrest is a part of his policies against anti-Semitism on college campuses.
The move has sparked outrage all over the country, with critics calling for the loss of constitutional rights. How far will Trump’s ban on free speech go?
