ICE arrests Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia University protests, his lawyer says
A prominent Palestinian activist who helped lead last spring's protests at Columbia University has been arrested by federal immigration agents.
Hasnain says:
Chilling day for free speech in the US. Already a lot of the “free speech warriors” have shown themselves out by applauding this rather than seeing this for what it is and what it portends.
Also, Columbia, why are you repeating your own shameful history?
“Greer said she spoke by phone with one of the ICE agents during the arrest, who said they were acting on State Department orders to revoke Khalil’s student visa. Informed by the attorney that Khalil was in the United States as a permanent resident with a green card, the agent said they were revoking that instead, according to the lawyer.”
