Tell Congress: Free Mahmoud Khalil and stop political deportations

In a chilling assault on civil liberties, the Trump administration is trying to deport Mahmoud Khalil—a Palestinian-American grad student at Columbia—for peacefully protesting for Palestinian rights.

Here’s what’s happening:

• No warrant, no due process: Mahmoud was arrested without a warrant and thrown into ICE detention—despite having no criminal record and lawful permanent residency.

• Retaliation for protest: He was targeted simply for speaking out. This is political repression—plain and simple.

• A danger to free speech: If the government can jail and deport students for protesting, no one’s right to dissent is safe.

We must demand Mahmoud’s immediate release and an end to politically motivated deportations that trample on free speech and human rights.

In solidarity,
