Summary
ICE agents arrested Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a leader in Columbia University’s encampment movement, claiming his student visa was revoked.
However, his attorney Amy Greer states he has a green card, not a student visa.
Despite filing a habeas corpus petition, Greer can’t locate where Khalil is being held, noting his eight-months-pregnant wife couldn’t find him at a New Jersey facility.
The arrest follows Trump’s March 4 social media threat to defund universities allowing “illegal protests” and deport “agitators.”
Centrists suddenly dislike retaliation against anti-genocide protesters at Columbia.
Give it a few hours and both sides will be the same again
