Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student and pro-Palestinian activist who was arrested by U.S. immigration agents in March, met his month-old son for the first time on Thursday, according to his attorneys. The emotional meeting took place just hours before his scheduled immigration hearing. Khalil’s detention has drawn widespread attention amid ongoing student-led protests and debates over immigration enforcement. His legal team continues to advocate for his release, citing humanitarian grounds and his role as a peaceful activist.
