Mahmoud Khalil’s Fight Against Family SeparationColumbia grad student Khalil spent 104 days detained in Louisiana before release on bail; government has appealed the decision.
- Mahmoud Khalil, a legal permanent resident and pro-Palestinian activist, was arrested in March and held for 104 days in a Louisiana immigration detention center.
- The detention conditions involved overcrowding, poor food, no privacy, and restricted communication, causing severe isolation.
- Khalil missed his first child’s birth and views his detention as a politically motivated attempt to silence protests against U.S. support for the Gaza conflict.
- Authorities made unsubstantiated claims against him while Khalil pursues a legal battle to maintain his release and protect his family unity.
I will fight to do that, as everyone should be with their families. That's why I'm standing up against this administration: to remain with my family, but also to give other children a chance to be with theirs.— Mahmoud Khalil discusses his commitment to fighting for family unity and standing against the administration's actions.
