What to know about Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia protester arrested by ICE and facing deportation

A federal court hearing in Manhattan is set to review the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate student, by immigration agents under directives regarding pro-Palestinian protests at the school.
Khalil has not been criminally charged and is currently held in Louisiana while his lawyers seek his return to New York under supervision.
U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman has ruled that Khalil cannot be deported while his legal challenge is pending, as civil rights groups argue that the government is retaliating against his speech.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the deportation is being pursued under the Immigration and Nationality Act for foreign policy reasons.
