ACLU releases video of Mahmoud Khalil’s ICE arrest

Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian graduate student at Columbia University, was detained by ICE for his participation in protests, with multiple human rights groups denouncing this as an attack on free speech and due process.
Over 100 lawmakers from the U.S. House expressed concerns regarding the legality of Khalil's detention in a letter to the Trump administration, stating that he is a lawful permanent resident.
Khalil described himself as a political prisoner, claiming, 'my arrest was a direct consequence of exercising my right to free speech' in a public letter.
Khalil's detention has sparked protests in cities like New York, where hundreds demanded his release following his March 8 arrest.
