Activist Freed, Vows Continued Palestine Advocacy | JQJO

Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, released from 104 days of ICE detention, returned to Columbia University. A judge ruled his detention unconstitutional. Khalil denounced Columbia's attempts to expel students protesting for Palestine and accused the university of silencing dissent. He vowed to continue advocating for Palestinian rights, despite the Trump administration's appeal of his release and accusations against him. His release was celebrated by supporters, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who highlighted the violation of free speech.
