Mahmoud Khalil speaks on release from ICE custody

NPR reports that Columbia University graduate student and activist Mahmoud Khalil has been released on bond after 104 days in a Louisiana immigration detention center. A legal permanent resident who is married to a U.S. citizen, Khalil became the face of the Trump administration’s crackdown on student protesters opposing Israel’s war in Gaza. Khalil was one of the first students who were detained and threatened with removal from the country. “Now, he has opened up about what happened to him with Morning Edition host Leila Fadel. From his arrest, which he says felt like a kidnapping, to his time in detention and why he believes the government targeted him, listen to him share his experience.”
