Standing for Mahmoud Khalil | Stories of Resistance Ep 13

On March 8, 2025, ICE agents detained, without a warrant, Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil at his home in New York City. Khalil is a U.S. resident, but Trump officials said they’d stripped him of his green card. His crime? Standing up and speaking out against the U.S.-backed Israeli attack on Palestine. As a graduate student at Columbia University last year, he helped to lead protests against Israeli genocide in Gaza.And just as he stood up for the Palestinians, others are standing up for Khalil. People have rallied for his freedom across the country.The Real News has been reporting on Khalil’s detention and the Trump administration’s attack on free speech.
