US student activist Mahmoud Khalil was arrested by immigration officials despite holding a green card, with DHS alleging he “led activities aligned to Hamas.” President Donald Trump said Khalil’s arrest was “the first of many to come” targeting “pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity.” Columbia University professor Michael Thaddeus called it “a dismal moment in American history.” The ACLU condemned the arrest as “unprecedented, illegal and un-American.” Legal expert Will Creeley warned of a “loophole so big you could drive a truck through it,” adding that the chilling effect on criticism of the US and Israel is “a real problem.” A New York judge ruled Khalil cannot be deported until further court orders.2:35 “UNPRECEDENTED, ILLEGAL AND UN-AMERICAN”4:44 ‘A LOOPHOLE SO BIG YOU COULD DRIVE A TRUCK THROUGH IT’n18oc_world n18oc_crux
