On Tuesday, a panel of judges from the Philadelphia-based 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals appeared skeptical of the Trump administration’s attempt to rearrest and deport Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil. The Columbia University graduate was the first pro-Palestinian campus protester to be jailed by the Trump administration over his advocacy work. Khalil’s lawyers have filed appeals to prevent the Trump administration from detaining him again. Yesterday, Khalil spoke to supporters outside the federal court.
Mahmoud Khalil: “I absolutely think, like, this shows how my case is actually just like a test for everyone’s rights here across the country.”
