Targeting Activism
The recent actions taken by former President Donald Trump have raised alarms across campuses. Mahmoud Khalil, a graduate of Columbia University and a dedicated Palestinian activist, is now at the center of this controversy. Under new measures to suppress pro-Palestinian protests on campuses, Khalil faces the possibility of deportation.
This move symbolizes a broader effort to quell dissent regarding Palestine-related issues on educational grounds. Khalil’s arrest has sparked significant pushback from advocates for free speech and social justice.
