24:20Now PlayingAfter fleeing war in Syria, Mahmoud Khalil came to the U.S. seeking safety, and ended up in detention for over 100 days after protesting Israel’s war on Gaza. Now, he tells Marc Lamont Hill how the U.S. is using fear and deportation to silence those who stand with Palestine.
Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and Palestinian refugee, describes how his arrest exposed the growing crackdown on dissent in the United States—and what it means to risk everything for justice and free speech. Together, Hill and Khalil unpack the cost of solidarity, the politics of immigration, and how Palestine’s struggle echoes across borders.
Editor’s Note: This interview was recorded before an immigration judge ordered Mahmoud Khalil’s deportation. His legal team plans to appeal.
Originally aired on UpFront (Sep 19, 2025), this conversation is one of the most urgent looks at repression, resistance, and identity in America.
