Khalil, a lawful permanent resident with a green card, had not been charged with any crime when he was taken into custody by ICE agents at his university-owned home near Columbia. Agents initially claimed to be acting on a State Department order to revoke his student visa. When informed by Khalil’s attorney he was a permanent resident with a green card, they said they would revoke that documentation instead. The ICE agents also threatened to arrest his wife, an American citizen who is eight months pregnant, according Khalil’s attorney."

"Khalil and other student leaders have rejected claims of antisemitism, saying they are part of a broader anti-war movement that also counts Jewish students and groups among its members. He is currently being held in a Louisiana detention center with no clear timeline for a hearing. Khalil was one of the most visible activists in last year’s protests, serving as a negotiator for students who erected a tent encampment on campus. Pro-Israel activists in recent weeks have called on the Trump administration to begin deportations against him and other protesters, who they say fueled a climate of antisemitism on campus."
