Mahmoud Khalil filed a civil rights lawsuit against Columbia University, alleging the school's 'deliberate indifference' contributed to his arrest by ICE agents and enabled harassment of other pro-Palestinian activists on campus. The case adds to ongoing controversy over the treatment of pro-Palestinian speech on US campuses and in immigration proceedings. The broader pattern has continued with other cases: Georgetown University scholar Badar Khan Suri, a legal US resident facing deportation the administration argues threatens US foreign policy interests, criticized the government's case against him in an immigration hearing as 'shallow' and 'specious.' Separately, Palestinian activist Leqaa Kordia said she has suffered a fifth seizure since her release from more than a year in ICE detention in Texas, with advocates raising concerns about medical care in detention centres and describing the health issues as a consequence of her activism.
