Summary

ICE agents arrested Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a leader in Columbia University’s encampment movement, claiming his student visa was revoked.

However, his attorney Amy Greer states he has a green card, not a student visa.

Despite filing a habeas corpus petition, Greer can’t locate where Khalil is being held, noting his eight-months-pregnant wife couldn’t find him at a New Jersey facility.

The arrest follows Trump’s March 4 social media threat to defund universities allowing “illegal protests” and deport “agitators.”

      It is not anti-Semitic to protest Israel commiting genocide with the US’s help.

      I also don’t think it’s reasonable to hold all of the protestors accountable for some of the protestors actions (assuming some actually are anti-semetic)

      They arrested him without a warrent for speech they didn’t like and disappeared him with no legal formality at all.
