Mahmoud Khalil vows to continue protesting Israel’s war in Gaza after coming back home
NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, JUN 21 – Mahmoud Khalil was held for 104 days without violence accusations and vows to continue protesting Israel's war in Gaza amid ongoing immigration proceedings and government appeals.
- Mahmoud Khalil, a legal U.S. resident and former Columbia University graduate student, was released from immigration detention on June 20 after being held since March 8 for participating in pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Manhattan.
- Khalil's detention occurred amid the Trump administration's crackdown on free speech, arguing noncitizens who protest should be expelled, though he faced no criminal charges and was not accused of violence.
- Upon release at Newark Liberty International Airport, Khalil, joined by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, greeted supporters and vowed to continue protesting Israel’s war in Gaza and speaking up for detained immigrants.
- A federal judge directed the release of Khalil, describing continued detention as highly irregular, while the government submitted a notice on Friday evening signaling its intention to appeal the ruling.
- Khalil’s case underscores conflicts between First Amendment protections and immigration policies, with advocates emphasizing that targeting him for his political expression infringes on constitutional rights and pledging ongoing support.
