TIAA-Divest!Mahmoud Khalil's detention by ICE isn't just an isolated incident; it's a stark warning to all student activists. When lawful protest leads to arrest, our fundamental rights are under siege. We must rally together to defend free speech and ensure that activism remains a protected act, not a punishable offense. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

Leader of student protests at Columbia facing deportation
President Donald Trump is warning that the arrest and possible deportation of a Palestinian activist who helped lead protests at Columbia University will be the first “of many to come” as his administration cracks down on protests against the war in Gaza. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested Saturday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. His lawyer says the agents claimed the government was revoking his green card. The Department of Homeland Security has said the arrest was in response to Trump’s executive orders prohibiting antisemitism. But a Manhattan judge Monday ordered he not be deported until a lawsuit challenging his detention is considered.
