Former Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil will remain in ICE detention in Louisiana after first court hearing

Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and green card holder, is currently detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Louisiana after allegedly helping organize a protest at the university last year.
The Justice Department is working to move Khalil's deportation case from New York to either New Jersey or Louisiana, with U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman temporarily blocking his deportation.
Khalil's attorney has stated he has not been charged with any crime, and the Trump administration's actions appear to be a response to protests against Israel.
Khalil is held in Louisiana under controversial circumstances related to anti-Israel protests and is scheduled to appear in immigration court in Louisiana on March 21.
