The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is seeking to prevent Columbia University from providing records to Congress related to the activities of the pro-Hamas group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) on campus. CAIR argues that releasing the documents could implicate detained protest leader Mahmoud Khalil and his classmates. Columbia has been ordered to delay the release of the documents for 30 days to allow CAIR to review them. The lawsuit and attempts to block the release of records come as Columbia attempts to restore federal funds frozen by the Trump administration and faces legal action over its support for Hamas.
