Palestinian activist and recent Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil remains in custody in Louisiana, just days after he was arrested in New York. A federal judge granted Khalil more access to his attorneys, the ruling coming after Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered Khalil's green card to be revoked. Khalil has not been charged with anything since ICE immigration officials arrested him from his home on campus, citing his role in pro-Palestinian protests last year at Columbia University. In New York this week, hundreds of protestors have held demonstrations demanding Khalil's release, arguing that his arrest violates free speech. Cecillia Wang is National Legal Director for the American Civil Liberties Union and joins Christiane from San Francisco.
