US EditionJudge says government must release Columbia University protester Mahmoud Khalil
- On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz ordered that Mahmoud Khalil, a former graduate student at Columbia University who was detained in March, should be freed by the authorities.
- Khalil's arrest related to his participation in pro-Palestinian demonstrations and the Trump administration's effort to deport him citing foreign policy concerns.
- Khalil, a legal permanent resident of the U.S. originally from Syria with Palestinian heritage, has been held in custody in Louisiana since his arrest on March 8, separated from his family and legal representatives.
- The judge noted Khalil's detention causes irreparable harm to his career and free speech, citing a revoked green card and lost job offers.
- The ruling may delay deportation, but the administration can appeal, while Khalil's legal team calls this a significant vindication of his rights.
