Judge says he will order Columbia University protester Mahmoud Khalil released from immigration detention
- On March 8, 2025, Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian Columbia University graduate, was detained in Manhattan for his participation in campus protests against Israel's war in Gaza.
- His detention resulted from the Trump administration's crackdown on foreign students in demonstrations, which considers their views antisemitic and grounds for expulsion.
- Khalil, who has not been charged with any crimes and has publicly condemned antisemitism and racism, was moved to a detention facility in Louisiana while his legal team sought either his prompt freedom or relocation to a center nearer to his family in New Jersey.
- On Friday, U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz ruled that Khalil’s continued detention violated his First Amendment rights and ordered his release from immigration custody.
- This ruling marks a significant victory for free speech advocates challenging the administration's targeting of pro-Palestinian activists, and Khalil's wife expressed relief that he will be reunited with his family after over three months of detention.
