NILC Statement on DHS’s Detention of Student Activist Mahmoud Khalil

WASHINGTON — Kica Matos, president of the National Immigration Law Center (NILC), issued the following statement in response to reports of student activist Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest and detention by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS):

“The disturbing arrest of Mahmoud Khalil for exercising his right to free speech marks a dramatic escalation in the Trump administration’s abuse of immigration enforcement and disregard for the law. We denounce this outrageous, politically motivated attempt to silence Mr. Khalil by locking him away and threatening to revoke his green card without due process. We stand in solidarity with Mr. Khalil and his family and join in the calls for his immediate release.”
