ICE did not have warrant for Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest - now Homeland Security claims ‘they did not need one’

ICE agents did not have a warrant when they detained Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil, court documents have said.

Khalil, 30, was stripped of his green card and arrested in front of his then-eight-month-pregnant wife in New York City on March 8. He was transferred to an ICE detention center in Louisiana, almost 1,300 miles away. There have been international calls for his release since then, with Khalil even denied the right to attend the birth of his child on April 21.
