Recently in the afternoon, Mahmud Khalil Sitting in his Manhattan apartment, raising his 10-week son, because he thought that a frigid immigration was spent in Louisiana, who was waiting for the news of the child’s birth in New York.
For a moment, the vocal Palestinian worker found himself unknowingly speechless.
“I can’t describe the pain of that night,” Khalil Finally said, the child was stabbed in his arms, staring down as a child. “This is something that I will never forgive.”
Now, weeks after weeks to achieve their independence, Khalil is demanding restoration. On Thursday, his lawyers filed a $ 20 million claim against the Trump administration, alleging that Khalil was incorrectly imprisoned, prosecutably prosecuted and stained as an antisemite as the government demanded that the government demanded his major role in protest against the premises.

Facting – A pioneer for a lawsuit under the Federal Tort Claims Act – is the name of the Homeland Security Department, American Immigration and Customs Enforcement and State Department.
It comes as exile case against Khalil, a 30 -year -old graduate student at Columbia University, which continues its way through the immigration court system.
Lakshya, Khalil said, a message is to be sent that he will not be scared in silence.
“They are misusing their power because they think they are untouchables,” said Khalil. “Until they think there is any kind of accountability, it will be uncontrolled.”
Khalil said that he plans to share any disposal money with others targeted in President Trump’s “unsuccessful” attempt, which failed to suppress the Palestinian speech. In return for a disposal, he will also accept an official apology and change in the exile policies of the administration.
In an email statement, Trissia McLaglin, a spokesman of the Homeland Security Department, called Khalil’s claim “absurd”, accusing him of “hateful behavior and rhetoric” that threatened the Jewish students.
The State Department said that its works towards Khalil were fully supported by law. The inquiry from the White House and the snow did not return immediately.
The filing has accused Mr. Trump and other officials that they increase a campaign to “terrorize him and his family” with Khalil’s arrest on March 8.
That night, he said that he was returning home from dinner with his wife Noor Abdullah, when he was “effectively kidnapped” by plaincloth federal agents, who refused to provide a warrant and surprised to learn that he was a legal American permanent resident.
Then he was taken to an immigration jail in Jena, Louisiana, which was a remote place, which, according to the filing, was “deliberately hidden” from his family and lawyers.
Inside, Khalil stated that he was denied his ulcers, forced to sleep under hard fluorescent lights and fed “almost inherited” food, losing 15 pounds (7 kg). Khalil said, “I don’t remember one night when I didn’t sleep with hunger.”
Meanwhile, the Trump administration publicly celebrated arrest, promising them and others who opposed to Israel, protested against Israel, called it “terrorists, terrorists, anti-Jewish, anti-American activities”.
Khalil, who has condemned Antisemitism before and after his arrest, was not accused of crime and was not linked to Hamas or any other terrorist group. “At some point, it becomes like reality TV,” Khalil said of the allegations. “This is very absurd.”

In a few weeks in his dislocation, Khalil said he was awake by a fellow captive, who pointed enthusiastically on his face on the Jailhouse TV screen. A new memorandum signed by State Secretary Marco Rubio admitted that Khalil did not break the law, but argued that he should be deported for beliefs that could reduce the interests of US foreign policy.
Khalil said, “My beliefs are not going towards investment in arms manufacturers for massacre of my tax or tuition.” “Its as simple as that.”
By then, Khalil had become something of a celebrity in 1,200-person lock-up. When not working with their own case, they hosted the “office time” for fellow immigrant prisoners, to help others work on their previous experience in a British embassy in Beirut and help others find paperwork and find translators for their affairs.
“I am very good in bureaucracy,” said Khalil.
At night, he played Russian and Mexican card games, as Khalil “heard the story one after another to those who could not understand what is happening to them.”
“This was one of the most heartbreaking moments,” he said. “People inside do not know that they have any right.”
On 20 June, custody was released by 104 days later, Khalil was issued by a federal judge, who found that the government’s efforts to remove it on the basis of foreign policy were likely to be unconstitutional.
Now he faces new allegations of incorrectly presenting personal details green card application. In a proposal filed late on Wednesday night, Khalil’s lawyers described those allegations as baseless and ventilative, urging a judge to dismiss him.
The post -its release week, Khalil said, has brought moments of joy and intense personal pain.
Fearing harassment or potential arrest, he leaves the house less frequently, avoiding a large crowd or late night walk. But he burnt because he remembers that Deen had seen swimming before in the week. “It was not very pleasant to him,” Khalil said smiling.
“I am trying as much as possible for time with my son and my wife,” he said. “Trying to think about my future and understand this new reality.”
A part of that reality, he said, “His efforts will be continued to advocate against the Israeli war against the Israeli war in Gaza, with more than 57,000 Palestinians, more than half of them, women and children have been killed, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza. A day after his release, he led a March through Manhattan, wrapped in a Palestinian flag – and provoked security.
As he put Din’s milk in a bottle, Khalil considered if he had done anything differently, he had known his personal cost of his activism.
“We could communicate better. We could build more bridges with more people,” he said. “But the main thing to oppose a genocide, I don’t think you can do so.
