The Columbia graduate's attorneys argued for his return to New York, after federal agents quietly sent the detained Palestinian activist to Louisiana.
NEW YORK CITY ― Attorneys representing Mahmoud Khalil are fighting to release the prominent Palestinian activist from detention, after federal agents arrested the green card holder for peacefully leading anti-war student protests last year on Columbia University’s campus.
Lawyers for Khalil attended a hearing at the Thurgood Marshall courthouse on Wednesday for their emergency petition to return the Columbia graduate to New York City, where the case challenging his arrest’s validity is pending.
Despite living in New York, Khalil is currently being held at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Louisiana. He has not been criminally charged.
The government did not yet decide whether they believe jurisdiction should be in New York or Louisiana. Khalil’s attorneys requested a privileged call for March 20, saying they “literally have not been able to confer with our client once since he was taken off the streets of New York City.”
Judge Jesse Furman ― who previously ruled against deporting Khalil until his habeas case is reviewed ― said he will allow one privileged call on Wednesday between Khalil and his attorneys, and another one on Thursday.
