There is no right person who should be detained for actually protesting a genocide.” Pro-Palestinian activist and former Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil was released from a federal detention centre in Louisiana on Friday. Khalil was one of the main negotiators for students during the pro-Palestine campus encampment in the spring of 2024. On 8 March, the Trump administration and DHS arrested and detained Khalil for his advocacy for Palestinian rights at Columbia University. Khalil, a green card holder who is married to a US citizen and has a US-born son, was held in custody facing potential deportation. Although he is currently out on bail and the Trump administration’s deportation case against him is not over yet, Khalil will be able to hold his newborn son for the very first time.
