Mahmoud Khalil Released from US Immigration Detention Center

Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate known for his pro-Palestine activism, has been freed from a US immigration detention center after more than three months in custody. His release came following a court order by US federal judge Michael Farbiarz.

Speaking to reporters after his release, Khalil expressed his belief that no one should be detained for protesting against genocide. He also criticized the Trump administration for its treatment of detainees, stating, “The Trump administration are doing their best to dehumanize everyone here.”

Khalil, a Syrian-born green card holder, was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement for his involvement in pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University. The decision to release him is seen as a setback for the Trump administration, which has been targeting students who support Palestine.

The administration has been accused of using immigration law to punish individuals for their speech, a violation of First Amendment rights. The American Civil Liberties Union, which assisted in Khalil’s case, emphasized the importance of protecting free speech.

Despite efforts by the government to deport Khalil on foreign policy grounds, the judge ruled in favor of Khalil, stating that he had not committed a crime and was being targeted solely for his speech. The government’s attempts to detain Khalil based on alleged omissions in his residency application were also questioned by the judge.

Farbiarz’s decision to release Khalil on a nominal bond of $1 highlights the importance of upholding constitutional rights and preventing the misuse of immigration law for political purposes.

As Khalil moves forward with his case, the outcome will have implications not only for his own future but also for the protection of free speech and the rights of individuals to express their beliefs without fear of retaliation.
