President Donald Trump has likened Mahmoud Khalil to a terrorist sympathizer. Others portray him as a Palestinian activist, singled out for his outspoken support for his own people.But long before he was arrested by federal agents Saturday night, Khalil told CNN he felt called to advocate for the liberation of both the Palestinian and Jewish people as a refugee.바카라 게임 웹사이트�As a Palestinian student, I believe that the liberation of the Palestinian people and the Jewish people are intertwined and go hand-by-hand and you cannot achieve one without the other,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he told CNN last spring when he was one of the negotiators representing student demonstrators during talks with Columbia University바카라 게임 웹사이트�s administration.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Our movement is a movement for social justice and freedom and equality for everyone,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said.Khalil, who completed work on his masters degree from Columbia University in December and is a legal resident of the U.S., was arrested and detained by federal agents after his lawyer said his green card was revoked by the Trump administration.His attorney, Amy Greer, said Khalil바카라 게임 웹사이트�s wife, who is an American citizen, was also present during his arrest and is eight months pregnant.A federal judge blocked any immediate effort by the Trump administration to deport Khalil, late Monday afternoon. Judge Jesse Furman ordered a hearing on Khalil바카라 게임 웹사이트�s case to be held Wednesday morning in New York City.Greer said she spoke to Khalil on Monday, and he is 바카라 게임 웹사이트�healthy and his spirits are undaunted by his predicament.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�He was chosen as an example to stifle entirely lawful dissent, in violation of the First Amendment,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said in a statement. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�The government바카라 게임 웹사이트�s objective is as transparent as it is unlawful.바카라 게임 웹사이트�But there are those 바카라 게임 웹사이트� including Trump and his administration 바카라 게임 웹사이트� who view Khalil바카라 게임 웹사이트�s pro-Palestinian activism as acts of antisemitism and support for Hamas.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Following my previously signed executive orders, ICE proudly apprehended and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a radical foreign pro-Hamas Student on the campus of Columbia University,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Trump posted Monday on Truth Social. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�This is the first arrest of many to come.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Khalil is being held at a detention facility in Jena, Louisiana, according to a source with direct knowledge of the case. Here바카라 게임 웹사이트�s what we know about him.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We are the lucky ones that made it바카라 게임 웹사이트� to the USIn an interview with CNN last spring, Kahlil said he was born a Palestinian refugee in Syria, but his family is from Tiberias, an Israeli city that was once known for its mixed Jewish and Arab population.During the Arab-Israeli War in 1948, millions of Palestinians were forcibly removed from cities like Tiberias in what became known as 바카라 게임 웹사이트�The Nakba,바카라 게임 웹사이트� or catastrophe.Khalil grew up in Syria and earned his bachelor바카라 게임 웹사이트�s degree in computer science from Lebanese American University, according to his LinkedIn profile. Before enrolling at Columbia, he held multiple roles in international development, including with the United Kingdom바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.In 2023, Khalil began studying to earn his master바카라 게임 웹사이트�s degree in public administration at Columbia바카라 게임 웹사이트�s School of International and Public Affairs. Then, Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.The Israel-Hamas War thrust Columbia University and its students into the national spotlight as pro-Palestinian demonstrations swept through college campuses.Building on a tradition of student-led anti-war protests at Columbia, a coalition of students established encampments on campus, held rallies and staged 바카라 게임 웹사이트�teach-ins.바카라 게임 웹사이트� But the movement was also tainted by instances of rampant antisemitism, which Khalil disavowed.바카라 게임 웹사이트�There is, of course, no place for antisemitism,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he told CNN in April. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�What we are witnessing is anti-Palestinian sentiment that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s taking different forms and antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism (are) some of these forms.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Khalil reportedly suspended, then reinstated as a Columbia studentKhalil added that he chose not to participate directly in the student encampments because he did not want to risk the university revoking his student visa.Instead, he gave speeches and was one of the students selected to lead discussions with university administrators on behalf of Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a coalition of student organizations that demanded, among other things, the university to divest from its financial ties to Israel and a ceasefire in Gaza.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I always say that we are the lucky ones that made it here to speak for our people who are under oppression in Palestine and across the refugee camps and the Palestinian cities,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Khalil said, adding that at times he바카라 게임 웹사이트�s felt 바카라 게임 웹사이트�survival guilt바카라 게임 웹사이트� over his inability to 바카라 게임 웹사이트�do anything meaningful for the (Palestinian) people바카라 게임 웹사이트� other than protest.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I was fearful of actively engaging in protests at some points because of different threats (and) because of the university바카라 게임 웹사이트�s policies regarding this but again, we organized. We prevailed to do something for our people.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Days after Khalil spoke to CNN, the university missed its deadline to reach an agreement on divestment. In response, students, as well as people unaffiliated with the school, entered Columbia바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Hamilton Hall and barricaded themselves inside. The university ultimately requested police assistance to remove the protesters and more than 280 people were arrested, according to the NYPD.After the demonstration at Hamilton Hall, Khalil told the BBC the university moved to suspend him, then abruptly reversed the decision.바카라 게임 웹사이트� that after reviewing the evidence, they don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t have any evidence to suspend (me),바카라 게임 웹사이트� he told the BBC. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�It shows how random the suspension was 바카라 게임 웹사이트� they did that randomly, and without due process.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Now, nearly a year later, Khalil바카라 게임 웹사이트�s attorney, as well as First Amendment advocates, say he바카라 게임 웹사이트�s facing a similar denial of due process, following his arrest by federal agents on Saturday.Ben Wizner, director of the American Civil Liberties Union바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, called Khalil바카라 게임 웹사이트�s arrest 바카라 게임 웹사이트�unprecedented, illegal, and un-American.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�The First Amendment protects everyone in the US. The government바카라 게임 웹사이트�s actions are obviously intended to intimidate and chill speech on one side of a public debate,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Wizner said in a statement Monday.More than 1.7 million people have signed a letter to demand Khalil바카라 게임 웹사이트�s 바카라 게임 웹사이트�immediate release,바카라 게임 웹사이트� according to a petition on Action Network. And in New York City, hundreds gathered outside the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building 바카라 게임 웹사이트� ICE has a field office 바카라 게임 웹사이트� on Monday to protest Khalil바카라 게임 웹사이트�s arrest, chanting 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We want justice, you say 바카라 게임 웹사이트�how?바카라 게임 웹사이트� release Mahmoud Khalil now!바카라 게임 웹사이트�Still, there are those who celebrated the Trump administration바카라 게임 웹사이트�s crack down on antisemitism and its so-called ringleaders on college campuses. In a statement posted to X, the Anti-Defamation League praised the administration for its resolve to curb antisemitism.바카라 게임 웹사이트�This action further illustrates that resolve by holding alleged perpetrators responsible for their actions,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the ADL said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Obviously, any deportation action or revocation of a Green Card or visa must be undertaken in alignment with required due process protections.바카라 게임 웹사이트�CNN바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Jeff Winter, Alaa Elassar and Shimon Prokupecz contributed to this report.
