The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder and recent Columbia graduate, is a concerning violation of due process and constitutional rights. The administration's reliance on a 1952 law to deport Khalil without providing clear evidence that he poses a serious threat to national security is an overreach of executive power. This arbitrary detention, including being held in a remote facility with limited access to legal counsel, undermines the fundamental principles of justice and fairness guaranteed by the rule of law. I urge you to intervene and ensure Khalil receives a full and fair legal process before any action is taken against his residency status. Upholding civil liberties and checks on government authority is essential for protecting the rights of all Americans.
