YouTube Description
as posted by the channelColumbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil is seeking $20 million in damages against the Trump administration over the alleged harm caused by his arrest and detention.
Mahmoud Khalil claims he experienced lasting harm while in immigration detention. Khalil is one of the first students arrested in the Trump administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian activists. He was detained for some hundred days before being released last month.
In his filing, Khalil accused immigration agents of arresting him without probable cause and under false pretenses. He also claimed that he lost 15 pounds due to stress and inadequate food, as well as that he was forced to miss the birth of his first child.
In a statement, Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin called his claims "absurd," asserting that the government acted within its authority.
