A Palestinian activist who led the disruptive anti-Israel protests at both Columbia University and Barnard College has been arrested by ICE agents at his campus apartment, according to his lawyer.
Mahmoud Khalil, a former graduate student who got his undergraduate degree in Beirut and completed his studies at Ivy League Columbia in December, also reportedly faces having his visa revoked and his green card canceled following President Trump’s crackdown on unrest at colleges.
He was inside his university-owned apartment a few blocks from campus Saturday night when ICE agents entered the residence and took him into custody, attorney Amy Greer told AP.
While a student, Khalil headed up student-run group Apartheid Divest, and was a lead negotiator during last spring’s protracted student protest on campus, in which dozens of tents jammed the lawn of the Morningside Heights campus.
He was also a political affairs officer with UNRWA — the United Nations’ agency that supports Palestinian refugees, which Israel says have been infilatred by Hamas — from June through November 2023, according to his LinkedIn.

Why is he still here?
Throw out ALL the Palestinians! No nation on earth wants these people, why should we take them?
We SHOULDN’T have to. It’s time to send them back to Suckistan where they belong.
That’s what we should all be asking.
Rescinding a green card used to be an extended procedure, much to the frustration of INS enforcement officers. The hope is that now it’s a lot simpler.
while I agree with the sentiment... I don’t a judge will, this is free speech.

Here geographically, or here existing? That’s okay, we can keep the answer between us.
Deport now.
Let the lawyers debate later.
Yeeeesss!!! THIS is what we need thousands of times!
Especially the one in Congress.
GITMO?
We need to scrap the entire student visa scam or at least significantly limit the amount of people we allow in.
This is a great bust! Thank you ICE!
Every immigrant who gives aid or comfort to terrorists should be deported. Preferably on a smalll boat that gets lost at sea. Naturalized citizens who give comfort to terrorists should have their citizenship revoked.
We should be obsessed with immigrant quality more than quantity.
Yeah, the charges have to be legit, no matter how much I dislike the guy or his opinions. Otherwise we are as bad as the Euro’s we criticize for repression of free speech.
Isn't it great when the grownups are in charge?
It’s not free speech. He was trespassing and blocking the entrance to University buildings.
