The actor called the arrest and attempted deportation of Mahmoud Khalil an attack on free speech while appearing outside of court on Wednesday.
Susan Sarandon is speaking up in support of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and green-card holder who was detained by ICE over his pro-Palestinian activism.
The “Thelma & Louise” actor showed up outside a Manhattan federal courthouse during a Wednesday hearing in his immigration case. She slammed attempts to deport Khalil over his political activity as an assault on free speech.
Speaking to reporters in front of the courthouse, Sarandon said, “No matter where you stand on genocide, freedom of speech is an issue, is a right, that we all have. And this is a turning point in the history and the freedom of this country.”
