ICE Arrests Radical Pro-Palestinian Activist at Columbia; May Face Deportation
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist who graduated from Columbia University and led radical protests there, on Saturday, a sign of a Trump administration crackdown.
President Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to deport foreign students who were fomenting anti-Israel and antisemitic protests on campus, which exploded under President Joe Biden in the wake of the October 7, 2023 terror attack by Hamas in Israel.
