Mahmoud Khalil, Rümeysa Öztürk, and Alireza Doroudi are all being held in ICE detention in Jena, Louisiana. Jena represents the nexus of white supremacy, prison profiteering, and state repression. But its history also shows us the path of resistance. #FreeMahmoudKhalil https://mondoweiss.net/2025/04/why-pro-palestine-protesters-are-being-sent-to-a-for-profit-ice-prison-in-rural-louisiana/

#ICE Admits They Didn't Have a Warrant When They Arrested #MahmoudKhalil

"ICE has admitted it detained Mahmoud illegally and without a warrant—to justify it, they are now flat out lying with an absurd claim that he tried to flee," said a staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights.

Mahmoud Khalil’s wife, Noor Abdalla, gave birth while he was detained—ICE denied his request to be present. 'I will fight every day for Mahmoud to come home to us,' she said.

“I welcomed our son into the world earlier today without Mahmoud by my side. Despite our request for ICE to allow Mahmoud to attend the birth, they denied his temporary release to meet our son. This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer.”

“I hope this writing will startle you into understanding that a democracy for some — a democracy of convenience — is no democracy at all. I hope it will shake you into acting before it is too late,” he wrote.

The administration is deporting Khalil for nothing more than his beliefs, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio explicitly admitted in a memo turned over as evidence in his case."

'Verzoek Khalil om bij geboorte van zijn zoon te zijn afgewezen'
"De in de Verenigde Staten vastgezette activist Mahmoud Khalil mocht gisteren niet aanwezig zijn bij de geboorte van zijn zoon. Dat zegt zijn vrouw in een verklaring. Volgens haar had Khalil een verzoek ingediend om bij de bevalling te zijn, maar wees de Amerikaanse immigratiedienst ICE dat af.

Khalils vrouw Noor Abdalla spreekt van een bewust besluit om haar gezin te laten lijden. "De ICE en de regering-Trump hebben deze kostbare momenten van ons gezin gestolen in een poging om Mahmouds steun voor de vrijheid van Palestijnen het zwijgen op te leggen."

Khalil werd vorige maand aangehouden in de staat New York omdat hij volgens de Amerikaanse regering "uitingen had gedaan die in de lijn liggen van Hamas". Sindsdien zit hij in detentie in de Amerikaanse staat Louisiana. Een rechter heeft besloten dat hij de Verenigde Staten uit mag worden gezet.

Zijn arrestatie en geplande uitzetting is omstreden omdat hij niet verdacht wordt van een strafbaar feit. Ook heeft hij een permanente verblijfsvergunning.

Critici zeggen dat Khalil is opgepakt vanwege zijn prominente rol bij de pro-Palestijnse demonstraties op de campus van Columbia University. Volgens hen wil de regering van Trump hem als voorbeeld maken voor anderen die zich uitspreken over het lot van de Palestijnen. Khalil was woordvoerder van de protesterende studenten en bemiddelde tussen hen en het universiteitsbestuur."

A person wearing green and black and a pastel rainbow scarf. They have white hair and are wearing dark oval sunglasses, and holding up two signs: One sign is an image of the state of Maine with the inclusive Pride flag within the borders; the second sign reads, "Free Mahmoud Khalil".

“I write this letter as the sun rises, hoping that the suspension of my rights will raise alarm bells that yours are already in jeopardy. I hope it will inspire your outrage that the most basic human instinct, to protest shameless massacre, is being repressed by obscure laws, racist propaganda and a state terrified of an awakened public.”

#Harvard professors sue #Trump administration over funding cut threats

by Katie Cole, April 14, 2025, #WBUR

"The Harvard chapter of the American Association of University Professors sued the Trump administration Friday over what they call an 'unlawful and unprecedented' attempt to use federal funding cuts to restrict #FreeSpeech.

"The #DepartmentOfEducation announced in late March that it would review $8.7 billion in federal grants and contacts given to Harvard, alleging that the school failed to prevent #antisemitic discrimination on campus.

"The Trump administration then unveiled a broad set of demands on April 4 the university must agree to in order to keep getting federal funding, including cutting all diversity, equity and inclusion programming, and modifying any programming and departments that 'fuel antisemitic harassment.' The administration gave Columbia University a similar set of demands in March, which the school agreed to.

"The lawsuit by the professors' group, filed in #Massachusetts federal court, alleges that the administration's federal funding review violates the #TitleVI of the #CivilRightsAct, which prohibits discrimination in programs that receive federal funds. The court filing says the law requires specific procedures to cut federal funds and that the Trump administration has not taken any of those steps.

"The group said in a press release that the administration's actions are in effort to create a chilling effect among universities and faculty to stop speech that the president does not like.

" 'Eliminating discrimination and protecting all students is important,' said Nikolas Bowie, a Harvard law professor and the secretary-treasurer of the school's #AAUP chapter, in a statement. 'But Trump is defying the Civil Rights Act, terrifying students, and illegally holding hostage grants for hospitals and scientific research so he can accomplish his real goal of punishing academics for our politics.'

"The lawsuit says that the actions by the administration have 'already caused severe and irreparable harm by halting #academic #research and #inquiry at Harvard.'

"This is the second suit that the Harvard AAUP chapter has filed against the Trump administration this year. The first was a joint suit with other chapters, including one from Columbia, over federal efforts to deport #MahmoudKhalil and students that engaged in #ProPalestinian #activism."
