Five Things to Remember as the Mahmoud Khalil Case Develops

Greg Lukianoff and Robert Shibley | The Eternally Radical Idea

Greg Lukianoff and Robert Shibley of FIRE outline their concerns with the Trump administration’s effort to deport Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil. Khalil, a Syrian national, is in custody after participating in anti-Israel protests last spring. Shibley and Lukianoff argue that non-citizen students should not be punished for speech that would be protected for citizens, and that, since he has not been accused of a crime, deporting Khalil sets a dangerous precedent for campus free speech.
