Democrats are speaking out against the Trump administration for working with Columbia University to arrest pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil, a former graduate student who holds a Green Card and is a permanent U.S. resident.
Khalil, who was born in Syria and obtained his graduate degree from Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs in December, has been a vocal supporter of Palestine. He served as a negotiator for students bargaining with university officials to dismantle the "Gaza Solidarity Encampment," which sparked a global movement but made Khalil a target for pro-Israel activists, AP News reported.
