This story in particular is weird; because all the news stories are just saying he (khalil) made "a speech" at the "protests"; so I can't really tell if the media are whitewashing or if he actually did nothing wrong. Nobody is saying what he actually said or did. I thought they dealt with the college terror recruiters and riot instigators already... at least they should have by now.
Either way, I don't think this "protest" over his arrest is going to help his cause very much; besides drawing attention to his case.
So in this case - I believe it is important to examine the full body of knowledge that warrants his arrest and investigation under the guise and Interest of National Security... and protection of innocent US (Jewish) Students...
1) He is NOT a US Citizen - so he does NOT have the same rights of US Citizens...
2) He is NO LONGER a student at Columbia University... suggesting that he is a HIRED ANTAGINIST
3) One of his affiliations are with a Group aligned with the Oct 7 2023 Hamas attacks and kidnappings...
4) He has a history of organizing Violent activities on Campus...

The groups’ main goal is to "challenge the settler-colonial violence that Israel perpetrates with the support of the United States and its allies," according to an op-ed published in the Columbia Spectator in Nov. 2023.
"We reject the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency’s weaponizing of the United States’ racist immigration laws to prevent our international comrades and peers from speaking up," the group wrote. "We reject the violence of the Israel Defense Forces-trained, police-industrial complex that chokes our communities and disproportionately enacts brutality against people of color."
His profile says he graduated in December 2024!!!
Other work experience listed on Khalil’s LinkedIn profile includes completing an
internship with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which assists Palestinian refugees and descendants.
UNRWA has faced scrutiny after a U.N. investigation found that UNRWA employees may have been involved in Palestinian-militant group Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
The U.S. temporarily halted funding for UNRWA in January 2024 in response to the report.
The Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice and State Department are investigating Khalil as a possible national security threat, according to White House officials.
The investigation so far has unearthed "antisemitic and hateful" posts on Khalil’s social media, and determined he organized multiple antisemitic protests on Columbia’s campus, according to the officials.
Trump unveiled Khalil’s arrest Monday, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the administration would revoke the green cards of any Hamas supporters in the U.S. and deport them.
"Following my previously signed executive orders, ICE proudly apprehended and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a radical foreign pro-Hamas Student on the campus of Columbia University," Trump posted Monday on Truth Social. "This is the first arrest of many to come."
"We will find, apprehend and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country — never to return again," Trump stated. "If you support terrorism, including the slaughtering of innocent men, women and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests and you are not welcome here."
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the Trump administration's decision to arrest Khalil and claimed that he distributed pro-Hamas propaganda fliers on campus.
"This administration is not going to tolerate individuals having the privilege of studying in our country and then siding with pro-terrorist organizations that have killed Americans," Leavitt told reporters Tuesday at a White House press briefing, noting that on her desk were the "pro-Hamas propaganda fliers with the logo of Hamas" on them that Khalil allegedly was distributing. "We have a zero tolerance policy for siding with terrorists period."
She also defended Rubio's right to revoke Khalil's green card.
"Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the secretary of state has the right to revoke a green card or a visa for individuals who serve or are adversarial to the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States of America,"
