Agents from US President Donald Trump's administration arrested a Palestinian graduate student who played a prominent role in last year's pro-Palestinian protests at New York's Columbia University

quote:

Mahmoud Khalil...has been one of the negotiators with school administrators on behalf of the pro-Palestinian student protesters, who set up a tent encampment on a Columbia lawn last year.

quote:

In an interview with Reuters a few hours before his arrest on Saturday, Khalil said he was concerned that he was being targeted by the government and some conservative pro-Israel groups for speaking to the media.

I don't understand what law he broke here. He was arrested by DHS. Did he overstay a visa?

The government said the cuts and the student deportation efforts are because of antisemitic harassment at and near Columbia's Manhattan campus.


I assume he will be deported.

If your a foreigner here on a visa the last thing you should be doing is leading a protest against the United States at an American University

From the government? Yes, it does.

Unless this guy committed an actual crime, I don't see why they're doing here. Are there details I'm not seeing?

So, you don't know the nature of the charges on which he was arrested.

Thanks for your always-valuable input.

I know he is getting booted and that's all I care about plus I don't want to hear you go on and on talking about the Palestinian fight just because you lived in a neighborhood that had one.

Here's the truth - any legal immigrant in the US has to obey the laws and the Constitution of the US....but...they are also protected by those same laws and Constitution.
