The wife of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian Columbia University student who was arrested by US immigration agents, speaks out about his detention and possible deportation. Noor Abdalla, who is eight months pregnant, expressed her confusion and naivety about the situation, as Khalil is a legal permanent resident of the US. Khalil's lawyers argue that his arrest was in retaliation for his advocacy against Israel's military assault on Gaza. The Trump administration has accused Khalil of supporting Hamas, but has not provided evidence. Khalil is currently being held at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement jail in Louisiana.
