Mahmoud Khalil Offers Declaration, Describes Damages to His Life

Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate, offered a sworn legal declaration Thursday detailing the harms from his deportation fight in Louisiana.
The Trump administration detained Khalil in March using an obscure immigration law, allegedly targeting him for his pro-Palestinian views, a move a New Jersey judge ruled likely unconstitutional last month.
Khalil’s attorneys filed extensive declarations including statements from Columbia affiliates and legal experts arguing the government’s claims lack criminal basis and violate his free speech rights.
Attorney Alina Das noted that the government’s justification for Mahmoud’s detention has exclusively been based on foreign policy concerns, and she expressed optimism that the judge will order his release.
Khalil’s declaration describes irreparable harm including missing his son’s birth, damage to his reputation, family harassment, and severe impacts on his career and safety.
