US authorities arrest Palestinian student protester at Columbia University, students say

Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist, was arrested by federal immigration authorities during an operation related to a State Department order to revoke his green card, according to his attorney, Amy Greer.
Khalil was taken from his university-owned apartment near Columbia University, with agents claiming they revoked his student visa and green card, according to Greer.
His arrest aligns with President Donald Trump's vow to deport foreign students involved in protests against Israel's actions in Gaza.
Authorities did not disclose the reasons for Khalil's detention to his eight-month pregnant wife, as reported by Greer.
