Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil was detained without an arrest warrant, Trump administration says
Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist and Columbia University graduate student who faces deportation, was detained without an arrest warrant last month, according to court documents released Thursday.
Khalil, a Syrian-born legal resident and green card holder, was arrested on March 8 after returning from an Iftar meal during Ramadan. In court documents, Department of Homeland Security attorneys state that the immigration officers "had exigent circumstances to conduct the warrantless arrest" and that Khalil said he would not cooperate and intended to leave the scene.
