House Democrats Defend Palestinian Activist Arrested for Anti-Israel Activism

House Democrats are demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil, a Syrian student leader and Palestinian activist who was arrested by DHS agents at Columbia University and is now being held for expected deportation due to his activism against Israel. President Trump celebrated the arrest, claiming Khalil is a terrorist sympathizer. Democrats are divided on the issue, with some condemning the arrest as a violation of free speech, while others urge due process. Protests are planned in support of Khalil, with concerns raised about First Amendment rights being threatened.
