ICE arrests Palestinian activist who led Columbia University protests

Mahmoud Khalil, a prominent Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia University’s 2024 student encampment protests, was arrested in New York City by federal immigration authorities who claimed they were acting on a State Department order to revoke his green card, according to his attorney. In a statement to CBS News, the Department of Homeland Security said Khalil’s arrest was “in support of President Trump’s executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism,” alleging the former student “led activities aligned to Hamas.” The department did not provide details of any charges or alleged crimes.
