Despite national protests and politicians calling for the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestine activist detained by ICE over the weekend, President Donald Trump issued a stark warning while doubling down on the former Columbia University grad student's detainment.
"Following my previously signed Executive Orders, ICE proudly apprehended and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Radical Foreign Pro-Hamas Student on the campus of Columbia University," Trump wrote, referring to Khalil's peaceful anti-genocide activism.
