Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and lawful permanent resident, accuses the Trump administration of using immigration courts to control his detention and prevent his removal, challenging the legality of his detention in federal court amid ongoing legal battles over jurisdiction and constitutional rights.
A U.S. judge ordered the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist detained in Louisiana, citing unconstitutional punishment and lack of flight risk, marking a victory for rights groups challenging the Trump administration's actions against him. Despite the White House's opposition, Khalil's detention was deemed unlawful, and he is set to reunite with his family in New York while his immigration case continues.
