Khalil, a spokesman for the anti-Israel group Columbia Apartheid United Divest, was shipped to an ICE detention center in Louisiana and is waging a court battle against the Trump administration, which is looking to deport the green-card and student-visa holder over his role in disruptive and, at times, violent protests at the Ivy League. His attorneys have since accused the Trump administration of advancing a “radical reinterpretation” of existing law to move the case to a more conservative venue that deprives Khalil of his legal team and family. “We look forward to the next phase of this case, which is to get Mahmoud out of detention and into the arms of his family, and then to prove the Trump administration’s attempted deportation of Mahmoud and others is nothing but unconstitutional retaliation for protected speech.”
