Columbia Grad Detained by Trump Administration

A legal permanent resident and Columbia University graduate, Khalil, was detained by the Trump administration despite not being charged with a crime. Immigration experts say this move appears to be retaliatory against someone who expressed an opinion disapproved of by the Trump administration. Khalil had been involved in pro-Palestinian activism, including with the Apartheid Divest group at Columbia University, which faced disciplinary charges from the university for alleged discrimination. The Trump administration has also threatened to cut funding to Columbia due to its handling of antisemitism on campus.

Columbia Student Detained by ICE Agents

A Columbia University student, identified as Khalil, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Sunday, sparking concerns over free speech rights and retaliation against pro-Palestinian protesters. The New York Civil Liberties Union described the detention as unlawful and an attack on free speech, while the university maintained it is committed to its students' legal rights. Khalil, a Palestinian refugee from Syria, had been involved in negotiations with school administrators during last year's student protests. The Trump administration has canceled $400 million in government contracts and grants awarded to Columbia University, citing antisemitic harassment on campus, amid pressure on the school over its handling of student protesters.
