From Fox News: Anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil returned to Columbia University on Sunday to lead another protest march just days after his release from an immigration detention facility on a judge’s orders.
Khalil was seen being honored in New York City and gave a speech referencing the Trump administration detaining and attempting to deport him.
“Well, who is Mahmoud Khalil?” Khlalil said. “That’s what the administration has tried its best to portray me as someone who’s violent. Mahmoud Khalil is a human rights defender. Mahmoud Khalil is a freedom fighter. Mahmoud Khalil is a refugee. Mahmoud Khalil is a father and husband. And above all, Mahmoud Khalil is Palestinian.”
He called this latest protest the beginning of a “longer fight towards justice.”
“The wave of repression that the Trump administration initiated with my detention was intended to silence the movement for Palestinian liberation,” Khalil said. “It was intended to scare people into silence. It was intended to distract us from the fact that the U.S. government is a killing machine in Palestine and across the world. But they completely failed. Millions of people spoke up even louder, that it is our responsibility to end this genocide, no matter the personal cost, no matter the personal cost. And that’s exactly what I will continue trying to do as long, so long as I’m able, so long as I am breathing.”
Khalil was greeted by a huge, adoring crowd as people waved Palestinian flags and held up signs that read, “ICE out of our communities.”

Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Tex.) wrote, “ALERT: Just DAYS after a federal judge orders the release of Mahmoud Khalil he throws an anti-Israel rally at Columbia. Khalil is NOT a legal citizen yet a federal judge has granted him the position to continue spewing anti-American rhetoric.”
