On March 8, DHS agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil, a U.S. permanent resident and student activist for Palestinian rights, from his New York apartment. Mahmoud was targeted for his political speech and activism in support of Palestinian freedom and for an end to the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Mahmoud is currently being held in an ICE facility, reportedly already moved out of New York, and could face imminent deportation. His wife, a U.S. citizen, is eight months pregnant.
These are the actions of a fascist government, and we must ensure Mahmoud's release. I demand that elected officials and universities start protecting students from the reach of the Trump regime.
