Mahmoud Khalil was a leader in Columbia University’s pro-Palestinian protests. In March, he was arrested by ICE agents and held for more than 100 days in a Louisiana detention facility. The Trump administration claims Khalil is deportable — even though he has a green card, married to a U.S. citizen — because he poses a threat to U.S. foreign policy goals.
Khalil’s alleged offense here is speech.
Khalil is out now on bail, and he’s still speaking. I wanted to hear what he had to say.
Mentioned:
A Letter From Palestinian Activist Mahmoud Khalil
The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi
Book Recommendations:
One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad
The Question of Palestine by Edward Said
My Promised Land by Ari Shavit
