On March 9, 2025, US permanent resident and Columbia University graduate student was abducted without charge or trial and sent off to a shady Louisiana site on White House orders over his protests for Columbia to divest from Israel's war crimes.

From DropSite:

NEW YORK CITY—On Saturday night, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents entered a student residential building at Columbia University in uptown New York and detained Mahmoud Khalil, one of the lead negotiators on behalf of pro-Palestine protesters at 2024’s Gaza solidarity encampment. In a sweeping attack on the First Amendment, the Trump administration said this week it would begin revoking visas of “Hamas sympathizers,” specifically citing Columbia University students. The detention followed a two-day targeted online campaign against Khalil by pro-Israel groups and individuals, including Columbia’s high-profile pro-Israel professor, Shai Davidai.

Khalil, an Algerian citizen of Palestinian origin and an American green-card holder, was detained by DHS officials around half past eight as he was entering the Columbia residential building he lives in. He was returning from an iftar, breaking the day-long fast observed by many Muslims during the month of Ramadan.

Khalil’s wife, who is eight months pregnant, was with him at the time. A statement by the pro-Palestine group Writers Against the War on Gaza (WAWOG) stated that he was “abducted and detained without the physical demonstration of a warrant or officially filed charges.”

Khalil was detained at a DHS facility in New Jersey, according to a database for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But when his wife went to try and visit him she was informed he was not there. "He is not at the ICE facility in New Jersey. I can confirm he is not there,” Khalil’s attorney Amy Greer told Drop Site. "At this time, we have an idea [where he is] but we cannot confirm that 100%.”

According to WAWOG, the DHS agents told Khalil that the U.S. Department of State had revoked his student visa. The group said this was “despite the fact that he has a green card, not a visa, and is a lawful permanent resident.”

In response to a request for comment from Drop Site, the DHS first stated, “You need to reach out to the White House.”

On Sunday evening, DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin sent a follow-up statement confirming ICE “arrested” Khalil “for activities aligned to Hamas”: “On March 9, 2025, in support of President Trump’s executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism, and in coordination with the Department of State, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student,” McLaughlin wrote. “Khalil led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. ICE and the Department of State are committed to enforcing President Trump’s executive orders and to protecting U.S. national security.”

McLaughlin did not answer questions about where Khalil is being held.

Columbia University directed Drop Site to a statement on their website. The statement, dated March 9, reads, "There have been reports of ICE around campus. Columbia has and will continue to follow the law. Consistent with our longstanding practice and the practice of cities and institutions throughout the country, law enforcement must have a judicial warrant to enter non-public University areas, including University buildings. Columbia is committed to complying with all legal obligations and supporting our student body and campus community."

Khalil’s wife was unlocking the door to the building when “two plainclothes DHS agents forced their way in behind them.” They initially refused to identify themselves, she reported, but then threatened Khalil’s wife that if she remained with him, she would be detained too.

On Wednesday, Khalil was among the protesters at a sit-in at Milstein Library in Columbia University’s Barnard College, protesting the recent expulsion of three Barnard students over pro-Palestine activism. New York Police Department officers later arrested nine individuals from the same protest—the third round of arrests of pro-Palestine demonstrators on Columbia’s campuses in the past year.

Over the course of Thursday and Friday, several prominent pro-Israel groups and individuals published a series of tweets targeting Khalil, mentioning his presence at the sit-in on Wednesday and his history as a lead negotiator with Columbia in April 2024, and demanded that the Trump administration act strongly against him by revoking his visa and deporting him. They tagged President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and US Attorney General Pam Bondi.

All that stuff is basic democratic political expressions. Maybe democracy is a threat to these people.

The strange thing is that if western governments had yielded to pressure from civil society, thus forcing Israel to be peaceful rather than genocidal, that would meant Israel continuing on it's previous trajectory of slowy gaining acceptance among it's neighbors. Eventually Israel would have been recognized by most governments in the region, and the Palestinian cause would have slowly faded away.

Instead what they did now pissed off a huge number of previously a-political people in the west for trampling their civil liberties. Israel's economy is ruined, the IDF is overstretched. And virtually everybody who lives in that region, which is hundreds of millions, now regards Israel as "the great evil to be vanquished". It's hard to imagine how this doesn't end with the dissolution of Israel.

Pregnant wife of detained Palestinian Columbia University student speaks out

We have been reporting for several days on the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist at Columbia University, by the US Department of Homeland Security.

“He is the most incredible person who cares so much for other people,” his wife Noor Abdalla told the Reuters news agency. “He is the most kind, genuine soul.”

On Wednesday, Khalil’s lawyers argued to a federal judge that he had been arrested in retaliation for his outspoken advocacy against Israel’s war on Gaza. The judge extended his order blocking Khalil’s deportation while he considers whether the arrest was constitutional.

The couple are expecting their first child in late April. She said she hoped Khalil would be free by then.

“I think it would be very devastating for me and for him to meet his first child behind a glass screen,” Abdalla said. “I’ve always been so excited to have my first baby with the person I love.”

BREAKING | Columbia University Sued Over Student Record Disclosure*

Mahmoud Khalil, detained pro-Palestinian Columbia graduate, and 7 other students have filed a federal lawsuit against Columbia University, Barnard College, and the U.S. House Committee on Education and Workforce.

The lawsuit alleges that Columbia University unlawfully disclosed private student disciplinary records to Congress in response to a House committee investigation into campus protests and alleged antisemitism. Plaintiffs claim this disclosure violated privacy laws and free speech rights.

Mahmoud Khalil, one of the plaintiffs, was arrested by ICE last week but has not been charged with any crime. He remains detained in Louisiana, with the State department attempting to revoke his green card under a controversial Communist-era immigration policy.

The House committee’s inquiry centered on 11 campus protests tied to pro-Palestinian activism. Its letter to Columbia threatened federal funding cuts if the university failed to comply. Plaintiffs argue this amounts to political intimidation targeting dissenting voices.

Advocacy group CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) and the law firm Dratel & Lewis are supporting the lawsuit. CAIR has criticized Columbia’s compliance, calling it “a betrayal of academic freedom” and an act that undermines student privacy protections.

Notably, the lawsuit seeks to block further disclosures of student records and argues that compliance with the congressional subpoena violates First Amendment protections as well as university policies designed to safeguard student privacy.

The lawsuit, filed on Saturday in the US District Court for the Northern District of New York, seeks a nationwide temporary restraining order to block enforcement of two executive orders signed by US President Donald Trump in the first month of his second term earlier this year.

Mahmoud Khalil’s lawyers file papers seeking immediate release

Khalil’s arrest for taking part in pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University has been roundly condemned by civil liberties groups, with independent UN experts today decrying the permanent US resident’s “arbitrary detention”.

Khalil’s lawyers have now filed a motion seeking his immediate release so he can be with his wife, who is eight months pregnant. The filing also calls for the judge to bar Trump from invoking an obscure provision of the 1953 Immigration and Nationality Act, which the administration has used to justify efforts to deport Khalil.

“Forcing Mahmoud Khalil – a legal permanent resident who has not been accused of committing a single crime – to remain in detention during the birth of his first child is unconscionable,” Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, said in a statement.

“The Trump administration has no right to incarcerate Mr Khalil – this is an extreme, retaliatory, and targeted attack on the First Amendment and his right to due process,” she said.

Judge bars deportation of pro-Palestine Georgetown University student

We have been reporting on the case of Badar Khan Suri, an Indian man studying at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, who has been detained by US immigration authorities and is facing deportation for allegedly spreading pro-Hamas propaganda.

US District Judge Patricia Giles in Alexandria, Virginia, has now ordered US President Donald Trump’s administration not to deport Suri until the order is lifted.

Suri’s lawyer welcomed Thursday’s ruling and called it “the first bit of due process Dr Khan Suri has received since he was snatched from his family Monday night” outside his home in Rosslyn, Virginia.

Suri, a postdoctoral fellow at Georgetown’s Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, is living in the US on a student visa and is married to an American citizen.

His arrest comes amid the Trump administration’s efforts to deport foreigners accused of taking part in pro-Palestine protests, including Columbia University student and US permanent resident Mahmoud Khalil.

US judge blocks deportation of another pro-Palestinian student activist

A New York judge has ruled that 21-year-old Yunseo Chung, a student at Columbia University, cannot be detained as she fights the Trump administration’s attempts to deport her for her pro-Palestine activism.

Naomi Reice Buchwald said government lawyers had not yet laid out enough facts about their claims that they needed to detain the student while her case against deportation plays out in court.

“What is the issue with permitting her to stay in the community and not be subjected to ICE detention while the parties participate in rational, orderly briefing?” the judge wrote, using a legal term for fleshing out arguments in court filings.

Chung’s lawyers hailed the ruling.

“As of today, Yunseo Chung no longer has to fear and live in fear of ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] coming to her doorstep and abducting her in the night,” Ramzi Kassem said.

US teacher unions sue Trump administration over ‘coercive’ funding cuts

The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) have lodged a legal complaint over the Trump administration’s decision to cut $400m in federal funding for Columbia University.

The lawsuit described the measures – tied to claims the university failed to protect Jewish students during Gaza war protests – as a “coercive tactic” aimed at curbing free expression.

“This action challenges the Trump administration’s unlawful and unprecedented effort to overpower a university’s academic autonomy and control the thought, association, scholarship, and expression of its faculty and students,” the lawsuit said.

As we’ve reported, Columbia University has already conceded to several of the government’s conditions for restoring federal funding.

They include banning face masks, empowering dozens of campus police officers with special powers to arrest students and planning to install a new provost to oversee the department of Middle East, South Asian and African Studies and the Center for Palestine Studies.

Mahmoud Khalil’s lawyers to appear in New Jersey court as fight for release continues

The Associated Press news agency reports that Mahmoud Khalil’s lawyers are expected to appear in a New Jersey court later today as they fight for his release from federal custody.

Pro-Palestinian student activist Khalil, 30, has been held in southern Louisiana state since his arrest on March 8 in New York as part of the Trump administration’s policy to deport foreign students who support Palestinian rights.

Khalil is a legal US resident and married to an American citizen.

The court fight in Newark will continue one that began in New York City, but which was transferred after a judge determined a federal court in New Jersey was the proper jurisdiction for the case. Among the first issues for the new judge is whether to keep the case or transfer it again.

The Trump administration wants the case moved to Louisiana where Khalil is being held in an immigration detention facility.

A growing number of university students and faculty across the country have been arrested for their pro-Palestinian views, had their visas revoked, or been prevented from entering the US.

They include an Iranian student at the University of Alabama, a Turkish student at Tufts University in Massachusetts, a Korean American student at Columbia University, a Gambian student at Cornell University in upstate New York, an Indian scholar at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, and a Lebanese doctor at Brown University’s medical school in Rhode Island.

New Ken Klippenstein piece:

The Trump administration is requiring that foreign students studying in, or seeking to study in the United States, pass an ideological test in order to obtain a visa, according to a “sensitive” State Department directive issued by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and which I obtained.

The crackdown, instituted on Tuesday, makes it “mandatory” for consular officers and State Department personnel to conduct a “social media review” — including screenshotting posts — of new and returning student visa applicants for any evidence of terrorist connections. Such connections are defined broadly to include “advocating for, sympathizing with, or persuading others to endorse or espouse terrorist activities or support” a terrorist organization. Though the document doesn’t explicitly define what counts as advocacy, it mentions “conduct that bears a hostile attitude toward U.S. citizens or U.S. culture (including government, institutions, or founding principles).”

Specific reference is made to students seeking to participate “in pro-Hamas events,” which is how the Trump administration has characterized student protests against the war in Gaza.



The order to “comprehensively review and screen every visa applicant” appears directed at Palestinian and other foreign students who are “sympathetic” to Hamas, but typical of every government directive, it also opens the door for broader ideological vetting. It also directs the social media of visa applicants to be assessed for “potential security and non-security related ineligibilities [that] pose a threat to U.S. national security.”

The directive, dated March 25, bears the subject line “Enhanced Screening and Social Media Vetting for Visa Applicants.” It begins with a reference to two of Trump’s executive orders, including one on “measures to combat anti-semitism” and another on combating foreign terrorists and other national security threats to public safety. The directive applies to F, M, and J student visa, which encompass:

F visa (Academic Student): Full-time students at an accredited college, university, seminary, conservatory, academic high school, elementary school, or other academic institution or in a language training program.

M visa (Vocational Student): Students in vocational or other nonacademic programs, other than language training.

J visa (Exchange Visitors): Foreign nationals in the United States for educational, cultural, or work-related exchange programs, such as teaching, studying, conducting research, or receiving training.



The order requires visa decision-makers to take screenshots of “potentially derogatory information” to both document their decisions and to prevent visa applicants and holders from deleting or altering their previous posts.

What social media is reviewed and how that is done is governed by the State Department Foreign Affairs Handbook section 7 FAH-1 H-954.4, according to the directive, dealing with “Social Media Review.” That section of the handbook, though otherwise online, has not been released to the public.

I’ve included a copy of the leaked directive in its entirety below so you can see for yourself what you think. If you appreciate journalism that respects its readers intelligence enough to let them come to their own conclusions, do us a solid by becoming a paid subscriber.

Harvard University dismisses Middle Eastern Studies Centre leadership: Report

The academic leadership of Harvard University’s Center for Middle Eastern Studies have been dismissed following a pressure campaign by the Trump administration over alleged anti-Israel bias.

The development was first reported by the student newspaper The Harvard Crimson and confirmed by The New York Times.

An email sent to affiliates announced Professor Cemal Kafadar, who specialises in Turkish studies, would see out the year before stepping down as director. Associate director, Rosie Bsheer, a historian of the Middle East, was not named in the email but will also vacate her position. Both will remain on staff.

The centre was reported to have been the subject of complaints by the Harvard Jewish Alumni Alliance for "anti-Semitic bias against Israel."

The US is dismantling the international prestige of it's universities. The majority of the world thinks Zionissm is fascism, and Israel became a crazy evil rogue state. This shit will be as off-putting, as attempts of white-washing Hitler, would be.

BREAKING: Pro-Palestine Student Activist Momodou Taal Leaves U.S. Amid Deportation Threats

Momodou Taal, a British Gambian pro-Palestine activist and former PhD student at Cornell University, announces that he has left the United States, following ongoing threats of deportation. Taal faced escalating pressure from the U.S. government after filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging two executive orders that targeted pro-Palestinian and anti-genocide activism.

In a statement shared on social media, Taal expresses his gratitude to those who have supported him throughout this ordeal. He recounts how the Trump administration attempted to prevent his day in court, sending ICE agents to his home and revoking his visa. Despite a court denial of his first motion, Taal had hoped a second briefing would allow him to remain in the country while the lawsuit proceeded. Taal writes, however, that he has lost faith in the U.S. legal system’s ability to guarantee his safety and freedom, explaining, “I have lost faith I could walk the streets without being abducted.”

He said the U.S. government has shown a disregard for both the judiciary and the rule of law and criticized the silence of those who have not spoken out against the ongoing genocide in Palestine: “For every person that has remained silent, just know that you are not safe either. Is the imprisonment of those who speak out against a genocide a reflection of your values? Is this the kind of nation you want to live in?”

He also writes, “The repression of Palestinian solidarity is now being used to wage a wholesale attack on any form of expression that challenges oppressive and exploitative relations in the U.S.”

Reaffirming his commitment to a liberated Palestine, and urging continued support, he said: “Do not seek to secure your personal safety by undermining the Palestinian right of resistance.”

“A world where genocidal violence can be waged with impunity is a world built on hatred and cowardice. Such a world will, over time, destroy itself entirely. The only future, the only world, we can accept is one that will have a liberated and reconstructed Gaza at its heart.”

He concludes his message expressing confidence in the eventual liberation of Palestine and with a reminder of the larger struggle and the long-term fight for justice, writing, “As sad as I feel right now, I do not despair. I have never been more confident and sure that we will win and that Palestine will be free within our lifetime. History will absolve us.”

The rallying there or the gate locking there?
Yes to both, I assume. I could be wrong about at least one of those 2 things.
