Mahmoud Khalil, a "Palestinian" Arab graduate student, had been one of the most visible figures during the protests, serving as a negotiator between student activists and university officials as they sought to dismantle the anti-Israel encampment on campus.

ICE arrests Palestinian leader of Columbia’s anti-Israel protests, revoking student visa and green card: lawyer.

President Trump is giving this anti-Israel campus rabble-rouser a ticket to study abroad — for good.
A Palestinian activist who led a coalition of twisted radicals seeking the “total eradication of Western Civilization” responsible for riotous protests at Columbia University and Barnard College has been arrested by ICE agents, according to his lawyer.
Columbia University Apartheid Divest leader Mahmoud Khalil, who completed his graduate studies at Ivy League Columbia in December, also potentially faces having his visa revoked and his green card canceled following President Trump’s crackdown on unrest at colleges, attorney Amy Greer said Sunday.
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, Greer said.
Despite graduating months ago, Khalil, who earned his undergraduate degree in Beirut, still lived in school-provided housing due to a policy allowing students to remain on campus after graduating, a source told The Post.
He has remained active in recent disruptive protests, including last week’s takeover of the Milstein Library at Barnard College. Videos and photographs posted on X depict him holding a bullhorn near the library entrance and engaged in discussion with school administrators.
That protest featured violent propaganda flyers that purportedly came directly from the “Hamas Media Office,” including one pamphlet titled “Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood,” which justified the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people — and in which women were repeatedly raped, whole families were executed and 251 hostages were taken to the Gaza Strip.
Others at the Barnard library takeover passed around trading card-like photos of notorious Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon last September.

Paterson NH, the portion in Bay Ridge called “little palestine” and a portion in Downtown Brooklyn...
With his Rashida,Tlaib...and his CAIR’s Nihad Awad...
They made a bad pick to start with. This creep has an American wife and a child. Bad optics and narrative. They need to round up a bunch more and make them the headlines.
and his lawyer, greer. she needs a lesson in reality.

His American wife’s name?
.. worth saying twice (oops)
Somewhere near Wakanda maybe? I can’t find it, even on my 1973 globe.
You don’t know what other intel they have on him besides his protest activism.
The fact that being married to a USC isn’t protecting him will be a wake up call for a lot of foreign students to shut up and sit down.
He loves Hamas so much send his ass to gaza
He supports Hamas I don’t care the optics ship his ass out of here
Yep. But it would only be right to politely bid him a farewell.
So hand him this picture as he’s being booted out of the country.
Some (female) Americans will care when his crying 8-months pregnant wife goes on "The View." There HAD to be better first targets than this.
Somewhere deep in the Sahara desert.
“the portion in Bay Ridge called “little palestine” and a portion in Downtown Brooklyn...”
I knew about Atlantic Avenue, but what happened to Bay Ridge? That used to be a fairly good neighborhood.
Not NH, but NJ.
No HAMAS in Paterson, NJ?
