Judge temporarily blocks effort to deport Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia student protests

Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist, was arrested by ICE agents at Columbia University after his green card was revoked due to leading anti-Israel protests amid the conflict with Hamas.
A federal judge has temporarily blocked Khalil's deportation while his legal team challenges the arrest; a hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
President Donald Trump labeled Khalil a "Radical Foreign Pro-Hamas Student," indicating it was the "first of many" arrests targeting individuals deemed sympathizers of terrorism.
Hundreds protested in New York, viewing Khalil's detention as a politically motivated act against pro-Palestinian activism.
