Anti-Israel protester Mahmoud Khalil speaks out and reveals his future plans after release from Louisiana lockup
NY Post ^ | 6/20/25 | Victor Nava

Anti-Israel protester Mahmoud Khalil lamented leaving behind some “incredible men” on Friday as he left a Louisiana detention facility, which he hopes becomes a museum to what he described as “America’s racist policies.”

“I leave some incredible men behind me, over 1,000 people behind me, in a place where they shouldn’t have been in the first place,” Khalil told reporters after walking out of the La Salle Detention Facility in Jena, La.

“I hope the next time that I will be in Jena is to actually visit this as a museum on America’s racist policies against immigrants,” the former Columbia University student added.

After being picked up by federal immigration authorities on March 8, Khalil spent 104 days at the rural Louisiana detention center as the Trump administration fought to deport the Syrian-born permanent resident for allegedly engaging in activities “aligned to Hamas,” a Palestinian terror group, while studying at Columbia.

“The Trump administration are doing their best to dehumanize everyone here,” Khalil charged outside the detention center, “whether you are a US citizen, an immigrant, or just a person on this land doesn’t mean that you are less of a human.”

“[President Trump] and his administration, they chose the wrong person for this,” he said defiantly. “That doesn’t mean that there is a right person.”

Khalil, wearing a keffiyeh, went on to slam his alma mater, accusing the Ivy League school of “investing in the genocide of the Palestinian people.”

“There is no right person who should be detained, who are actually protesting a genocide, for protesting their university – Columbia University – that is investing in the genocide of the Palestinian people,” he said.

“An immigration judge, not a district judge, has the authority to decide if Mr. Khalil should be released or detained,” McLaughlin said in a statement. “On the same day an immigration judge denied Khalil bond and ordered him removed, one rogue district judge ordered him released.”

“This is yet another example of how out of control members of the judicial branch are undermining national security. Their conduct not only denies the result of the 2024 election, it also does great harm to our constitutional system by undermining public confidence in the courts.”

Put this dillweed on a plane headed home.

Congratulations to this treasonous “dickstrict” judge. He put another potential Jew killer back on the streets of America.

An immigration judge, not a district judge, has the authority to decide if Mr. Khalil should be released or detained,” ..........one rogue district judge ordered him released

So, why release him? An immigration judge had already ruled.

If he’s smart, he’ll shut the hell up, and catch the first plane back to Syria.

The judge will probably consider that as a badge of honor. It won’t bother him in the slightest.

This guy’s big supporter in the press is a former British “diplomat” Andrew Waller, who as it happens is now operating as a writer/presstitute. He is portrayed in US reporting like he is some kind of reserved journalist and unbiased former British official, but instead he looks to be a head full of much product of modern indoctrination.
Andrew Waller worked with Khalil while Khalil was in Beirut, Lebanon in 2018-2022.

...Dozens of students from around the globe have joined the *Beirut Exchange,* a two-week program that offers a crash course in the Arabic language and brings participants face-to-face with prominent political, academic and economic leaders in the Middle East.
“Some students coming from Denver, Colorado have never been to the Middle East,” said *project coordinator Nicholas Noe*....

The program, launched in 2008, is hosted twice annually by mideastwire.com, a website that specializes in translating articles in regional newspapers from Arabic to English.

In addition to the Beirut Exchange, the Damascus Exchange and the Istanbul-Ankara Exchange, hosted in nearby Syria and Turkey, are rapidly gaining popularity....

If he took part in Beirut exchange like his associate Waller, then he’s likely met with :

In Lebanon, the program offers students the chance to meet Oussama Hamdan, the Lebanon representative of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, and Ammar Mussawi, international relations officer of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah.

***

This program appears to be nothing more than a thinly veiled method of attempting to normalize violent terrorist groups by creating a false moral equivalency between them and nonviolent political groups, avoiding all tough questioning that might reveal the dark, dangerous core ideas of terrorist groups while exposing young people to what amounts to a PR campaign, advertisement that attempts to sell the youth on the “good side” of the terrorist groups, their “aid programs.”
Reminds me of bin Laden hoodwinking the UN, and the Candian and US aid programs, by promising to build hospitals and infrastructure.

[[“The Trump administration are doing their best to dehumanize everyone here]]
