6:57Now PlayingAttorneys representing detained Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil had their first hearing in court before U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman. Ramzi Kassem said after court that his client's arrest was "completely unprecedented."
“He was taken by US government agents in retaliation, essentially, for exercising his First Amendment rights, for speaking up in defense of Palestinians in Gaza and beyond, for being critical of the US government and of the Israeli government," Kassem told reporters outside the Manhattan federal courthouse. "Those are the reasons why he was targeted."
Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil was arrested on March 8 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at his university-owned apartment for his role in anti-Israel campus protests where repugnant flyers glorifying Hamas were handed out.
