Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University graduate student, who the Trump administration is seeking to deport for his pro-Palestine activism, has spoken to supporters in New York after his recent release from federal immigration detention, Al Jazeera reports.
“The US government is funding this genocide, and Columbia University is investing in this genocide,” said Khalil, who spent more than 100 days in detention.
“This is why I was protesting. This is why I will continue to protest with you,” he said.
Khalil, who was released on Friday, is a legal permanent resident in the US who is married to a US citizen and has a US-born son.
