A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to release Mahmoud Khalil on bail, ending his three-month detention. Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and legal permanent U.S. resident, was the only high-profile anti-Israel demonstrator in the United States still in confinement.
The ruling by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz of Federal District Court in Newark is a significant victory for Khalil, who has not been charged with a crime. The Trump administration had detained him under a rarely cited law allowing for the deportation of individuals opposing the nation's foreign policy objectives. Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused Khalil of spreading antisemitism. A week after his arrest, the administration added allegations of paperwork errors in his citizenship application. However,Khalil's lawyers argued that his arrest was due to his anti-Israel speech. Despite similar cases where students were released, Khalil remained detained. The Trump administration accused him of siding with Hamas but as of now, the court says they've provided no substantive evidence of his support for the group. Khalil's lawyers cited his statements that antisemitism has no place in the protest movement he leads.
