Mahmoud Khalil greeted friends and spoke briefly to reporters Saturday at New Jersey’s Newark International Airport a day after leaving a federal immigration facility in Louisiana.
A former Columbia University graduate student and symbol of President Trump ’s clampdown on campus protests, he vowed to continue protesting Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.
The U.S. government is funding this genocide, and Columbia University is investing in this genocide,” he said. “This is why I will continue to protest with every one of you.
Not only if they threaten me with detention. Even if they would kill me, I would still speak up for Palestine.”
Khalil, a legal U.S. resident whose wife gave birth during his 104 days of detention, said he also will speak up for the immigrants he left behind in the detention center.
