The former student of the University of Columbia was released from a detention center on Friday after being detained for more than three months.
The former student of the University of Columbia, Mahmoud Khalil, is committed to continuing to protest against the War of Israel against Gaza, as well as the support of the United States to Israeli military operations.
Khalil, who was released on Friday evening after being detained for more than three months in a detention center, told journalists from New Jersey’s New Jersey International Airport on Saturday that the government was funding this genocide (Gaza), and Columbia University is investing in this genocide “.
“This is why I will continue to protest with each of you. Not only if they threaten me with detention. Even if they would kill me, I would always speak for Palestine,” he said.
“Whether you are a citizen, immigrant, anyone in this country, you are not illegal. It doesn’t make you less a human.”
Born in Syria of Palestinian parents, Khalil, 30, was arrested by immigration agents at his university residence in March and quickly became the image of the hard repression of President Donald Trump against the demonstrators of pro-Palestine students and their possible deportation on behalf of alleged anti-Semitism.
The government said that Khalil’s detention and expulsion reasons, a legal American citizen, were that there were inaccuracies in his permanent residence request.
But district judge Michael Farbiarz said it was “very unusual” that the government continues to have a legal resident who was unlikely to flee and had not been accused of any violence.
Under the terms of his release, Khalil is not allowed to leave the country, with the exception of “self-disorganization” and faces restrictions on the place where he can go to the United States.
The government sentenced the decision to release Khalil and made an opinion that he made of the decision.
