Mahmoud Khalil vows to continue protesting Israel and the war in Gaza after release from detention
AP / Jun 23, 2025, 11:54 IST


NEWARK: A Palestinian activist who was detained for more than three months pushed his infant son's stroller with one hand and cheered as he was welcomed home Saturday by supporters including US Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Mahmoud Khalil greeted friends and spoke briefly to reporters at New Jersey's Newark International Airport a day after leaving a federal immigration facility in Louisiana. A former Columbia University graduate student and symbol of President Donald Trump 's clampdown on campus protests, he vowed to continue protesting Israel and the war in Gaza.

"The US government is funding this genocide, and Columbia University is investing in this genocide," he said. "This is why I will continue to protest with every one of you. Not only if they threaten me with detention. Even if they would kill me, I would still speak up for Palestine."

Joining Khalil at the airport, Ocasio-Cortez said his detention violated the First Amendment and was "an affront to every American."

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Former Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil took part in a rally and protest just days after he was released from an immigration detention facility.

 
Anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil returned to Columbia University on Sunday to lead another protest march just days after his release from an immigration detention facility on a judge’s orders.

Khalil was seen being honored in New York City and gave a speech referencing the Trump administration detaining and attempting to deport him.

"Well, who is Mahmoud Khalil?" Khlalil said. "That's what the administration has tried its best to portray me as someone who's violent. Mahmoud Khalil is a human rights defender. Mahmoud Khalil is a freedom fighter. Mahmoud Khalil is a refugee. Mahmoud Khalil is a father and husband. And above all, Mahmoud Khalil is Palestinian."

WATCH: Anti-Israel Activist Mahmoud Khalil Leads ‘Free Palestine!’ Chant in NYC After Release from ICE Custody

Anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil attended a rally in New York City on Sunday just days after he was released from a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Louisiana.

The rally happened outside the Cathedral of St. John the Divine which is near Columbia University, NBC News reported on Monday.

Khalil, who is a graduate of Columbia, was arrested in March after leading radical protests on the campus, per Breitbart News. The article noted President Donald Trump had previously promised to deport foreign students fomenting anti-Semitic and anti-Israel protests on campuses.

While addressing the crowd, Khalil said, “Mahmoud Khalil is a human rights defender. Mahmoud Khalil is a freedom fighter. Mahmoud Khalil is a refugee. Mahmoud Khalil is a father and husband. And, above all, Mahmoud Khalil is Palestinian.”

Video footage shows him leading the chant, “Free, free Palestine!” as the crowd joined him:
