The American Jewish Committee (AJC) has called for due process for Mahmoud Khalil, the Palestinian protester arrested by ICE at Columbia University, before facing deportation. The AJC statement condemns Khalil's activism but does not praise his arrest or suggest that his actions broke the law. The statement emphasizes the difference between protected speech and statements and actions that justify deportation. While many Jewish groups have weighed in on the arrest, the Jewish Federations of North America and Hillel International have not provided statements.
