Over the weekend, ICE agents entered a Columbia University-owned residence and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a green card-holding permanent resident who had participated in protests against the war in Gaza while he was a student. The order to detain and deport Mr. Khalil came directly from the White House, according to The Department of Homeland Security. He has been held in Louisiana, 1,000 miles from his home. The detention of Mr. Khalil is an act of intimidation that undermines our constitutional right to speak out, whether or not we are U.S. citizens.
