Mahmoud Khalil vows to continue protests after release from detention

Mahmoud Khalil is vowing to press on in his fight for the pro-Palestinian cause after he was released from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention over the weekend.

In the airport when he returned to New York City on Saturday, he was greeted by supporters whom he told he would not stop fighting, despite the government’s ongoing efforts to deport him.

The Trump administration is using a rarely cited provision of immigration law that says a person can be deported if the secretary of State determines they are a threat to U.S. foreign policy.

Good, protests don’t change positions, they harden them.
