"Dehumanizing Experience" Mahmoud Khalil Reveals Why He Is Suing the Trump Administration For $20mn

Detained for more than 100 days, Palestinian student activist Mahmoud Khalil was convinced he would eventually prevail. In an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Khalil, who is now back with his young family, describes the months languishing in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center, and the pain of being denied permission to be present at his son’s birth. “It was a very, very dehumanizing experience, for someone who was not accused of any crime, whatsoever,” said Khalil. His lawyers filed a claim against the Trump administration for $20 million in damages, alleging he was falsely imprisoned, prosecuted and portrayed as antisemitic as the government sought to deport him over his role in campus protests against Israel’s war in Gaza. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
