Appellate Court Overturns Ruling That Freed Palestinian Activist Mahmoud Khalil

HeadlineJan 16, 2026

A federal appeals court has reversed a ruling that freed Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil from a Louisiana ICE jail in June of last year. Advocates fear the move could pave the way for the Trump administration to rearrest Khalil, a Columbia University graduate who became the first pro-Palestinian campus protester to be jailed by Trump officials as part of a nationwide crackdown. We’ll speak to Mahmoud Khalil later in the broadcast.
