Mahmoud Khalil, the legal U.S. resident detained by the Trump administration over his pro-Palestine activism, was able to hold his infant son for the first time on Thursday.
Khalil, a graduate of Columbia University, was arrested in March by agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Despite possessing a green card and being married to a U.S. citizen, the Trump administration is seeking to deport him, claiming his opposition to Israel's war in Gaza poses a threat to U.S. national security interests.
