Activist Khalil: Trump Admin Failed to Silence Pro-Palestine Voices
Following his release from immigration detention, Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil asserts that the Trump administration's efforts to suppress pro-Palestinian voices have failed.
Speaking in Newark, New Jersey, after his release from a Louisiana detention center, Khalil vowed to continue advocating for Palestinian rights and the rights of immigrants.
Activism and Arrest
His arrest in March sparked protests in New York and Washington DC. The US government seeks his deportation, citing his activism as detrimental to foreign policy.
Political Support
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez supported Khalil, stating his release demonstrates the administration's losing legal battle against pro-Palestinian advocates.
Legal Battle
Khalil's release occurred after a judge determined he was not a flight risk. The White House plans to appeal the decision.
