Barnard Admin Surrenders To Student Radicals Who Stormed Campus Building, Shields Them From Police


Jessica Costescu and Jessica Schwalb
February 27, 2025

The mob of Columbia University and Barnard College students who stormed a Barnard building Wednesday afternoon appear to have gotten off scot-free. The radicals were allowed to leave peacefully after missing their first deadline to leave and being promised that they’d be protected from the police.

Video footage shows droves of keffiyeh-clad student radicals shoving their way into the campus building, Milbank Hall, physically clashing with at least two outnumbered security guards and hospitalizing one. Inside, the agitators held a dean captive, covered up security cameras, broke into an office, vandalized walls, and forced class cancellations. Their main demand: reverse the expulsion of two Barnard students who stormed an Israeli history class at Columbia last month, targeting Jewish students with anti-Semitic flyers.

A Columbia student confirmed to the Washington Free Beacon that campus public safety called the New York Police Department but said officers were not given entry because Barnard was "hesitant to do anything that could lead to physical confrontation."

 Anti-Israel protesters arrested at Barnard were mostly privileged youths, including woman whose family started Hamptons Jitney
Story by Jack Morphet, Amanda Woods, Chris Nesi • 8h

New York Post
Anti-Israel mob who stormed Barnard handed out ‘Hamas Media Office’ flyers glorifying Oct. 7: ‘Still think they don’t support terror?’

The nine agitators arrested during Wednesday night’s takeover of a Barnard College academic building were all released with desk appearance tickets, as it was revealed none of them were actually students at the elite women’s college.

The disruptors taken into custody included several from privileged backgrounds, including one whose family founded the popular Hampton Jitney bus service in the 1970s — and one rabble rouser who had been busted at two other protests and has called for the “overthrow” of America.

The nine were cuffed after more than 200 protesters swarmed the Milstein Library at Barnard College, many of them from nearby schools including Columbia University and Union Theological Seminary, a source told The Post.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Mahmoud Khalil, a student at Columbia, has reportedly been detained by DHS and had his green card revoked. He was a lead negotiator in the 2024 encampment at Columbia and is seen here participating in last week’s sit-in at Barnard:

It's a start.

ORK (AP) — A prominent Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia University’s student encampment movement was arrested Saturday night by federal immigration authorities who claimed they were acting on a State Department order to revoke his green card, according to his attorney.

Mahmoud Khalil was at his university-owned apartment blocks from Columbia’s Manhattan campus when several Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered the building and took him into custody, his attorney, Amy Greer, told The Associated Press.

One of the agents told Greer by phone that they were executing a State Department order to revoke Khalil’s student visa. Informed by the attorney that Khalil, who graduated in December, was in the United States as a permanent resident with a green card, the agent said they were revoking that too, according to the lawyer.

The arrest comes as President Donald Trump vows to deport foreign students and imprison “agitators” involved in protests against Israel’s war in Gaza. The administration has placed particular scrutiny on Columbia, announcing Friday that it would be cutting $400 million in grants and contracts because of what the government describes as the Ivy League school’s failure to squelch antisemitism on campus.

Pro-Palestinian Columbia graduate apprehended by ICE after leading on-campus protests

Daily Mail
By JAMES CIRRONE
9 March 2025



A vocal pro-Palestine graduate student at Columbia University was arrested and is being detained by ICE ahead of a scheduled appearance with a federal immigration judge, according to activists and his lawyer.

Mahmoud Khalil, who was the lead student negotiator for the pro-Palestinian encampment at the New York City college last year, was arrested Saturday night at his university-owned home by agents with the Department of Homeland Security, the Associated Press reported.

The protests at Columbia last year were allowed to run rampant for two weeks. They were marked by violent assaults and instances of Jewish students being afraid to go to class.

Khalil, who graduated in December, is in custody at an immigration detention facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey, according to federal records.

Undergraduate student Maryam Alwan, who was arrested by New York City police officers during the encampments last year, said she was 'horrified' by that happened to Khalil.

'I am horrified for my dear friend Mahmoud, who is a legal resident, and I am horrified that this is only the beginning,' the Columbia senior told Reuters in an interview.

According to past media reports from the BBC, Khalil was a Palestinian refugee who grew up in Syria. At some point, he emigrated to the United States to get an education at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs.

Amy Greer, Khalil's attorney, said she was told by a DHS agent over the phone that his team had executed a State Department order to revoke Khalil's student visa. The agent also said they were revoking his green card.

pulling student visa was a no brainer.

Am hopeful the green card was pulled due to criminal behavior, which is in the law. And that maybe we can find another law firm that will go to bat for him that we can dislodge from further government largesse

Mahmoud Khalil is married to his wife who is a U.S. citizen. Khalil’s wife whose identity is not revealed is currently eight months pregnant.

I'd like to know when she was radicalized?

This is why you can't allow radical Islamo-fascist jihadi 'activists' into the country in the first place.  Once here, they can marry a US Citizen and parent an anchor baby.

Cut off Columbia University and its students from any Federal funds, including Federal research grants, tuition grants, subsidies, or Federally-backed loans.

If Hamas is a hill Columbia University wants to die on, so be it.  Let them suffer the consequences of their radicalism.

It is not in the Public Interest for Federal funds to subsidize a private university that chooses to be a haven for Hamas terrorists, Hamas ideology, and a potential radicalization center for Hamas recruits.

Let's be clear - Hamas wants to 'liberate' Palenstine by exterminating all Jews.  It is not a revolutionary ideology of 'liberation'; it's a genocidal ideology that can trace its ideological roots to Nazi Germany.

Judge blocks deportation of pro-Palestinian Columbia graduate in shock move after Trump celebrates arrest of protest leader

Daily Mail
By BRITTANY CHAIN
10 March 2025



A judge has stepped in to temporarily block the deportation of a pro-Palestine activist who led student protests at Columbia University.

President Donald Trump boasted about the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, warning likeminded activists it was 'the first of many to come' as he embarks on his mass deportation policy.

Khalil was detained by ICE officers on Saturday night - who said they'd been given an order to revoke his green card - in front of his pregnant wife.

But a federal judge in New York poured water on Trump's plan on Monday, blocking the administration from deporting Khalil until at least the next court hearing on Wednesday.

The court order, seen by DailyMail.com, states: 'To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States unless and until the Court orders otherwise.'

Khalil, a Palestinian who was born and raised in Syria, helped to lead protests against Israel at Columbia University last year.

He also acted as a negotiator between students and university officials.

The protests were allowed to run rampant for two weeks. They were marked by violent assaults and instances of Jewish students being afraid to go to class.

 Ann Coulter questions arrest of Columbia protester on free speech grounds
by Tara Suter - 03/10/25 7:57 PM ET

Conservative media pundit Ann Coulter on Monday questioned the arrest of a pro-Palestinian advocate on free speech grounds.

“There’s almost no one I don’t want to deport, but unless they’ve committed a crime, isn’t this a violation of the First Amendment?” Coulter said on the social platform X in response to a report from The New York Post.

The Post reported that the names of visa-reliant international students who had participated in pro-Palestinian protests were being gathered by a pro-Israel organization, Betar, which wants to make them return home under President Trump.

Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student who led pro-Palestinian protests and is a green card holder, was arrested over the weekend by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a post on the social platform X Sunday, also sharing a news report on Khalil.

By Bonchie | 6:20 PM on March 10, 2025.
   
The Trump administration sent the far-left into an apoplectic rage on Sunday when it was announced they had detained pro-Hamas activist Mahmoud Khalil. The Department of Homeland Security took him into custody with the intent to revoke his green card and deport him after he repeatedly expressed public support for terrorism.

Khalil is originally from Syria and has been one of the leaders of the antisemitic harassment campaign taking place at Columbia University. During the summer of 2024, he helped instigate and organize a group of Hamas supporters who illegally occupied public spaces around the school, becoming one of their chief "negotiators." Columbia pro-terrorist activists made headlines again recently when they surrounded a Jewish center on campus, screaming for a "global intifada." Khalil was also filmed participating in a "protest" that took over a library.

As to the legal justification for his detainment, the relevant statute is cited below.

https://twitter.com/willchamberlain/status/1898919841446211913

That seems pretty straightforward, but nothing is ever cut and dried when left-wing judges make it their life's mission to oppose everything the Trump administration does. Judge Jesse M. Furman of the Southern District of New York stepped in to block Khalil's deportation and ordered legal representation for both sides to appear on Wednesday.

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
I disagree with Coulter.  Free speech is one thing, but when demonstrations become violent, when it entails ILLEGALLY occupying space, and when it entails threatening a particular group of students, Jewish students, then his speech become assault, a crime.

Since he led the assault upon Jewish students, he has in my mind committed a crime that should instigate his being removed and deported.

And it is time to curtail the power of the judiciary.  They think they have the power to stop the executive branch on everything it does.  They don't, and if that is not clear, it is time to pass legislation that restricts the sphere that courts can flex their power, which should be kept at a minimum. 

And I say the time has come to restrict entry into this country by folks that are islamic, otherwise we end up like Great Britain.

In regard to the Diversified Visa Program(Greencard Program), most Caucasian countries in Europe are restricted from participating in the program because it is believed we have plenty of folks from those nations.  Well, I say we have plenty of mussies in this nation, and enough is enough.

ICE arrests Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia University protests
March 10, 20252:03 AM ET
By The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Federal immigration authorities arrested a Palestinian activist Saturday who played a prominent role in Columbia University's protests against Israel, a significant escalation in the Trump administration's pledge to detain and deport student activists.

Mahmoud Khalil, a graduate student at Columbia until this past December, was inside his university-owned apartment Saturday night when several Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered and took him into custody, his attorney, Amy Greer, told The Associated Press.

Here’s why Mahmoud Khalil will be deported, without a doubt. Bookmark and share this.
 
1. Legal permanent residents are still aliens subject to 8 USC 1182 and 8 USC 1227, and thus explicitly deportable for any speech expressing support for designated terrorist organizations or statutorily defined “terrorist activities,” as well as deportable for foreign policy grounds at the sole determination of the Secretary of State and/or AG.
These are not crimes, but they don’t have to be. They are removal grounds under 8 USC 1182 and 8 USC 1227. No criminal conviction is required to remove aliens. IF a crime is committed, it can serve as grounds for removal, but no allegation of criminal misconduct is necessary. 

2. ⁠No due process has been denied. He is entitled to a basic statement that he is being detained and subject to removal proceedings, and he got one, and he’s entitled to a removal hearing before being deported, and he’ll get one.

3. ⁠He is not missing. The ICE detention database, available to the public, clearly lists that he is in a detention facility in Louisiana.

4. ⁠These actions are not being done in the name of “Jewish safety.” They are being done on the basis of expressing support for terrorism organizations or activities and on foreign policy grounds which is the prerogative of the Secretary of State and/or AG.

5. ⁠Separately, though no crime of “material” support of terrorism (or any other crime) is legally necessary to deport an alien, his distribution of pamphlets with Hamas iconography and language is “material” support (yes, producing and distributing documents is considered material support — look it up — just like other forms of “material” support like direct financial assistance).

6. ⁠This is an open-and-shut case. At the removal hearing, the government will recite the above, and the judge will affirm that these recitations have been made. On the “foreign policy” grounds of 8 USC 1227 alone, Mahmoud Kahlil is deportable and the government’s declaration that his presence is contrary to foreign policy is non-reviewable. The judge is not entitled to second-guess this; the judge can only require that this invocation be made by the government, and indeed, this invocation will be made.

No Muslim or Arab country wants Mahmoud Khalil, an antisemitic, racist, Hamas sympathizer. He roamed Hezbollah's terror hubs in Beirut before infiltrating Columbia University, not to learn but to radicalize. His mission is to hijack students' minds, turning them from seekers of knowledge into Hamas propaganda pawns, useful idiots destined to become either human shields or mouthpieces for Islamist extremism.

Democrats demand his release, not out of principle but out of political desperation. With nothing else to sell, they latch onto this trend, pretending to champion youth empowerment. Hundreds of these so-called activists are academic failures, culture-hating misfits, and naive fools with no grasp of the ideology they endorse.

Allowing Mahmoud Khalil back into universities is no different from welcoming ISIS and Al-Qaeda. The only difference is he knows the PR playbook: shave the beard, play the victim when caught, and let the useful idiots do the rest.

A question for these activists: why has not a single one called for the release of Edan Alexander, the New Jersey native held hostage by Hamas for 533 days? Because he is Jewish, and their so-called human rights concerns are nothing more than a selective farce.

Deport this Syrian-born Palestinian radical Islamist. Hamas does not want him back. Syria has enough global jihadists. The West Bank fears he will stir up more chaos in Jenin. Even in New York, those demanding his freedom would never share a home with him.

A Columbia student? So what? Bashar al-Assad studied in London before slaughtering his own people. Omar al-Bashir trained at a U.S. military college before committing genocide in Sudan. Anwar al-Awlaki earned a civil engineering degree in Colorado before becoming Al-Qaeda’s top recruiter. Sayyid Qutb, the godfather of modern jihadism, studied in the U.S. before calling for the extermination of Christians and Jews. Education does not make someone civilized, it only makes them more dangerous when paired with extremist ideology.

Let’s pray for the swift and successful deportation of this criminal. Let it be a lesson. A bold one. Western civilization must not bow to backwardness.

Seems like a good start.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I say no hearing with an idiot judge, put them on a jet for a designated destination of their country, or Guantanimo.  At Guantanimo, they will be detained for an undetermined period of time.
