Mahmoud Khalil asks Supreme Court to hear his case
Mahmoud Khalil, the former Columbia University student arrested by ICE, has petitioned the Supreme Court to take his case, his lawyers said.
Mahmoud Khalil has gone to the Supreme Court. His lawyers said Monday that he filed a request for the justices to review his case.
Khalil is the Columbia University demonstrator who became a central figure in the Trump administration's crackdown on pro-Palestinian foreign students, according to The Hill. The New York Times says he had recently graduated from Columbia when ICE agents arrested him.
The Hill reports that Khalil was jailed for months last year. It says he has long argued that his detention was retaliation for speech protected by law.
The New York Times describes the appeal as an effort to halt his deportation. The Hill's report does not say that.
