Columbia Student Released After 104 Days in ICE Detention | JQJO

Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia graduate student and legal permanent resident, was released on bail after 104 days in immigration detention. Detained following protests against Israel's war in Gaza, Khalil missed his son's birth. He alleges the Trump administration targeted him for his activism, suppressing his speech and denying media access during detention. The government appeals his release, citing alleged lies on his green card application and support for Hamas, claims Khalil denies. He vows to fight for his family and against what he calls government overreach.
