Mahmoud Khalil is a legal green-card-holding resident of the United States. Living in Columbia University’s apartment housing with his wife and soon to be child, he was unlawfully apprehended by men claiming to be ICE agents. He was whisked off to a New Jersey prison, and has since been moved to an undisclosed location. Not even his wife can find out where he is. Returning Mr. Khalil to his home and family and holding ICE agents, the Department of Homeland Security, Tom Homan, and the Trump administration accountable for their unlawful actions is a matter of justice and human rights. As a nation, founded on the principles of due process and equal protection under the law, we must ensure that government agencies like ice operate within legal and ethical bounds. Please hold a news conference to get this story out loud and clear in the media so that the public can be made aware of the abhorrent violations against both protesters and immigrants that Trump and his “loyal subjects” are affecting. And please use every power afforded you in your position as a Congress person to get Mr. Khalil back home.
