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

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.
