ICE arrests Palestinian leader of Columbia''s anti-Israel protests: lawyer
|
[NYPOST] President Trump is giving this anti-Israel campus rabble-rouser a ticket to study abroad — for good.
A Paleostinian activist who led a coalition of twisted forces of Evil seeking the ''total eradication of Western Civilization'' responsible for riotous protests at Columbia University and Barnard College has been arrested by ICE agents, according to his lawyer.
Columbia University Apartheid Divest leader Mahmoud Khalil, who completed his graduate studies at Ivy League Columbia in December, also potentially faces having his visa revoked and his green card canceled following President Trump's crackdown on unrest at colleges, attorney Amy Greer said Sunday.
| He also has an American wife who is eight months pregnant. It will be interesting to see if she follows him into exile after he is expelled from the country. It will also be interesting to see where his connections lead — internationally to Iran, Hamas, and/or Communist China, domestically beyond the protest organization he leads at Columbia to Muslim Brotherhood and other jihadi organizations, to Antifa/Black Bloc groups, and of course to the Progressive NGO financing network. And his wife’s connections — is she also an “activist” or is she a dupe married just for the green card that marriage provides? |
He was inside his university-owned apartment a few blocks from campus Saturday night when ICE agents entered the residence and took him into custody, Greer said.
Despite graduating months ago, Khalil, who earned his undergraduate degree in Beirut, still lived in school-provided housing due to a policy allowing students to remain on campus after graduating, a source told The Post.
He has remained active in recent disruptive protests, including last week's takeover of the Milstein Library at Barnard College. Videos and photographs posted on X depict him holding a bullhorn near the library entrance and engaged in discussion with school administrators.

last September.
Ari Shrage, head of Columbia's Jewish Alumni Association, told The Post he was dismayed and concerned to see the literature that was being distributed.
''These protesters were handing out materials from terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah. Every American citizen should be concerned when students are encouraging terrorist activities on US soil regardless of their nationality.''
Khalil is being held in ICE custody, with some reports saying he is at the Elizabeth Contract Detention Facility in New Jersey, although his location is not confirmed.
"We have not been able to get any more details about why he is being detained," Greer told the AP. "This is a clear escalation. The administration is following through on its threats."
WHO IS MAHMOUD KHALIL?
Khalil finished his graduate studies at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) in December 2024. Prior to attending Columbia, he received a Bachelor of Science in computer science from the Lebanese American University, according to the Society for International Development (SID).
A profile of him on SID states that he has worked for the Syria Office in the British Embassy in Beirut and Jusoor, a Syrian American educational nonprofit.
Prior to his arrest, the Palestinian activist told AP last week, "I have around 13 allegations against me, most of them are social media posts that I had nothing to do with."
The allegations are from the university's newly created Office of Institutional Equity, which has sent dozens of notices to students who have participated in a range of activities in support of Palestinians, according to the AP. Khalil has been accused of organizing an event that glorified Hamas' October 7 attack. The U.S. recognizes Hamas as a terror organization.
Khalil is now being held at a detention center in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Greer told the AP, which reports federal agents have refused to tell the activist’s pregnant wife whether Khalil has been charged with a crime.
Khalil was born in Syria, according to the record of his detention on ICE’s website, and served as a key negotiator between students and university officials regarding the end of protesters’ tent encampment on Columbia’s campus last year, with the AP noting he was one of only a few students involved with the protests who publicly shared their name and identity.
Greer said the firm filed a habeas corpus petition overnight on "Mahmoud’s behalf challenging the validity of his arrest and detention."
"Currently, we do not know Mahmoud’s precise whereabouts. Initially, we were informed this morning that he had been transferred to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey," Greer added.
"However, when his wife – a U.S. citizen who is eight months’ pregnant and was threatened with arrest as well by the ICE agents last night – tried to visit him there today, she was told he is not detained there."
Greer added that the firm has received reports that Khalil may be transferred as far away as Louisiana.
