Mahmoud Khalil, a well-known Palestinian activist living in the United States on a Permanent Resident Visa, also known as a Green Card, who played a major role in last year’s unrest and occupation in support of Hamas at Columbia University in New York City, has been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and is facing deportation and revocation of his Legal Permanent Resident Status.

Khalil, who graduated in December with a master’s degree from Columbia University’s School of International Affairs, is accused of leading activities at Columbia aligned to Hamas and has had his Student Visa revoked “in support of President Trump’s recent executive orders prohibiting antisemitism at U.S. college campuses”, according to Tricia McLaughlin, Spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security.

This follows a post earlier tonight by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, which included a link to an article about Khalil’s arrest, while stating, “We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”

Former U.S. Navy Captain, Astronaut and current Democratic Senator from Arizona, Mark Kelly travelled to Ukraine this weekend, where he met with officials at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv as well as Ukrainian military leaders, visited defense industry sites, heard from wounded service members, and met with the International Red Cross Committee.

Following his visit, Senator Kelly, who has traveled to Ukraine three times since 2023 and is the first member of Congress to visit the country since the recent heated-confrontation with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, stated, “One thing is clear: No one wants this war to end more than President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people. But it has to end in a way that protects their sovereignty and security. The safety of Ukraine is tied to the safety of the United States, that's why I stand with Ukraine.” With him adding, “The world will become a very cold and lonely place if we continue this ridiculous “screw you, go it alone” foreign policy — America is the strongest, richest country in the world. We didn’t get there by being bullies like Putin, we got there by leading from the front and bringing our allies.”
