Mahmoud Khalil is a Palestinian graduate student at Columbia University.
He’s a Green Card holder and his wife is eight months pregnant.
His Green Card’s been revoked and he’s been told that he’s getting deported.
He’s currently being detained at an unknown location by U.S. immigration authorities.
His crime? Opposing Israel’s genocide in Gaza on campus.
You won’t get deported if you protest against America in America, but you will get deported if protest against Israel in America.
Utterly outrageous. This is un-American.
The forced disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil for nothing more than constitutionally protected speech is a clear assault on first amendment rights and a blatant act of authoritarianism.
Khalil must be released.

BREAKING: WHERE IS MAHMOUD KHALIL?
Mahmoud Khalil’s attorney has confirmed they do not know his whereabouts. Officials initially claimed he was taken to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his wife, who is EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT, arrived to visit him, she was told he was not there. Now, reports indicate he may have been transferred as far as Louisiana.
This is NOT just an arrest. This is an ATTACK on the FIRST AMENDMENT and a chilling escalation of authoritarianism under Trump.
Mahmoud Khalil, a LAWFUL permanent resident and Columbia GRADUATE student, has not been charged with or convicted of a single crime. His only “offence”? Advocating for justice.
As a student LEADER, Khalil was ELECTED by his peers to negotiate with Columbia University on divestment from Israel. He is a voice of reason, a measured and brilliant mind, and now a target of state repression.
He has not been charged with or convicted of a SINGLE crime. He is calm, smart, and measured and backed by millions around the world!
The Department of Homeland Security’s decision to detain him is LAWLESS. It is a direct attempt to silence peaceful anti-genocide activism.
Mahmoud Khalil must be released. NOW
Free Mahmoud Khalil. This is straight out of the fascist playbook. Criminalizing dissent is an assault on our First Amendment and freedom of speech. Revoking someone’s green card for expressing their political opinion is illegal. Protesting genocide is not a crime.
Starting now, the right wing and some of their Democrat establishment enablers will defame Palestinian American Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil as he remains missing after a White House directed ICE deportation order.
A "dangerous" negotiator co leading a non violent protest. A permanent resident with a wife who is 8 months pregnant. Without any trial.
If we don't all work to reverse this and end this, you're eventually next. No matter who you are.
OUTRAGEOUS: ICE arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a recent Columbia grad, for opposing genocide. Now they want to deport him. Today, we’re in Congress calling on NY reps to act. This afternoon, we take our message to ICE & DHS: FREE MAHMOUD KHALIL NOW.
Opposing genocide is NOT a crime. Genocide is a crime.
