Summary
ICE agents arrested Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a leader in Columbia University’s encampment movement, claiming his student visa was revoked.
However, his attorney Amy Greer states he has a green card, not a student visa.
Despite filing a habeas corpus petition, Greer can’t locate where Khalil is being held, noting his eight-months-pregnant wife couldn’t find him at a New Jersey facility.
The arrest follows Trump’s March 4 social media threat to defund universities allowing “illegal protests” and deport “agitators.”
I didn’t hear about the British person, but didn’t the German person have work scheduled in the US without authorization to work? I’m not saying she should be held indefinitely, but she was potentially breaking the law.
Would you trust the excuses ICE provides to detain someone?
Nope. She was going to do a tattoo for her American friend, but crucially this was a personal favor and not work.
Thanks for clarifying, I read that a while ago. I wonder if it was purposeful misinformation or just bad journalism.
