Columbia professor says Khalil arrest a βdismal moment in American historyβ
We have been reporting on the arrest and attempted deportation of Mahmoud Khalil β a US permanent resident β over his participation in protests against Israelβs war on Gaza at Columbia University in New York.
Columbia University mathematics professor Michael Thaddeus condemned Khalilβs arrest on Monday, saying it has βdealt a severe blow to that trust placed in us by the worldβ.
βMy activist colleagues behind me on the faculty have for many years circulated petitions and signed open letters in support of political prisoners held by authoritarian regimes in places like Russia, China and Iran,β he said.
βNow weβre facing a horrifying reality that our own student, a member of the Columbia community, has become a political prisoner here in the United States. This is a dismal moment in American history,β he added.
Rights groups have condemned Khalilβs arrest and attempted deportation as unconstitutional.
Earlier, we reported that New York District Court Judge Jesse Furman ordered that immigration authorities could not deport Khalil βunless and until the Court orders otherwiseβ.
