Mahmoud Khalil details psychological pain and reputational harm in new legal filings: ‘Efforts to erase my humanity’

The Columbia University student-activist at the center of a legal battle with Donald Trump’s administration has filed dozens of pieces of evidence and statements outlining the “irreparable harm” he faces in an immigration detention center in Louisiana.

Mahmoud Khalil — who was arrested by federal agents nearly three months ago for his role leading pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus — also submitted a declaration of his own, writing of the “visceral” pain he experienced missing the birth of his son.
