Newly Released Video Contradicts Government's Claims Against Detained Palestinian Student Khalil

flight risk. The video, which was obtained from a nearby surveillance camera, appears to show Khalil calmly cooperating with ICE agents before he was taken into custody. This contradicts the government's claim that Khalil attempted to flee and was a danger to the community. Khalil, a Palestinian student who was studying at Columbia University on a student visa, was detained on March 5th by ICE agents in front of his family's home in New York. The government alleged that Khalil had ties to a terrorist organization and was a flight risk, leading to his indefinite detention. However, the newly released video shows Khalil calmly walking towards the agents and following their instructions. His legal team argues that this footage undermines the government’s claims and shows that Khalil posed no threat. Khalil’s case has sparked outrage and protests from the Columbia University community and human rights organizations, who believe that he is being unjustly targeted and detained. His lawyers have filed a petition for his release, arguing that he has no ties to any terrorist organizations and is not a flight risk. The release of this video has raised questions about the government’s handling of Khalil’s case and the validity of their claims against him. It has also shed light on the tactics used by ICE agents in detaining individuals, particularly in cases involving immigration and national security. As the legal battle continues, Khalil’s supporters are hopeful that this new evidence will help secure his release and bring attention to the flaws in the government’s case. Khalil’s story serves as a reminder of the importance of due process and the need for accountability in the government’s actions."
