Pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, targeted for deportation as a result of his role in campus protests despite holding a green card, has made his first statement since being taken into custody earlier this month.
Khalil dictated a letter through a phone call from a detention facility in Louisiana. He said that after being taken by ICE in New York City, he was forced to sleep on a "cold floor" at an office before being taken to a detention center in New Jersey. There he also "slept on the ground and was refused a blanket" despite requesting one.
