The Trump administration is attempting to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a legal resident of the United States and recent graduate of Columbia University. Khalil was arrested by immigration officers and sent to a detention center in Louisiana. A federal judge in New York has ordered the government not to deport Khalil while he reviews a petition challenging the legality of the detention. The administration's rationale for the arrest is that the protests Khalil participated in were antisemitic and created a hostile environment for Jewish students at Columbia.
