Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we explore the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a legal permanent resident and former Columbia University student, by ICE during the Trump administration's mass deportation push and crackdown on campus antisemitism. Khalil’s arrest followed his participation in pro-Palestinian protests, with DHS officials struggling to justify the charges. Legal experts challenge the administration’s attempt to revoke his green card over activism, raising serious concerns about free speech, due process, and the rights of legal residents.
