Jewish pro-Palestinian campaign group Jewish Voice for Peace has shared a video of Mahmoud Khalil’s “horrific” arrest by US immigration authorities.
The video, filmed by Khalil’s wife, shows federal agents arrest the Columbia graduate school at his home in New York.
“[Department for Homeland Security] agents ripped Mahmoud Khalil from his home, threatening his immigration status, and detaining him, solely because of his political beliefs,” JVP wrote in a post on X.
“This is a clear attempt by President Trump to silence dissent, chill speech, and attack our freedoms.”
Free Mahmoud Khalil! There is no other way to put it: Mahmoud Khalil’s illegal detention at the hands of the Trump administration is horrific.
