#BostonMA protest calls for end of war in #Gaza, release of activist #MahmoudKhalil

Nationwide demonstrations were scheduled this weekend to protest the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil

By Thea DiGiammerino, March 16, 2025

"Hundreds calling for the end of the war in Gaza rallied in the streets of Boston Sunday, one of many demonstrations across the country protesting not only the violence but also recent action by the Trump administration toward a man who was arrested by immigration officials after speaking out about the issue.

"Chanting '#FreePalestine,' and other mottos calling for the end of the war, the crowd gathered in Copley Square then marched to the Mass. Ave Bridge, where they blocked traffic for around 10 minutes before moving off the streets.

"Massachusetts State Police said they monitored the event and no arrests were made."

[...]

"'When the Trump administration detained multiple people from the #PalestineMovement we could have seen our communities react in fear, we could have seen hundreds of Bostonians staying home today. And that’s not what we’re seeing because we know people will stand up against this #bullying,' one attendee told NBC10 Boston.

"Tensions over the situation in the Middle East and the #Trump administration's policies concerning the war remain high. Last week, the #DepartmentOfEducation issued a warning to 60 colleges and universities that they were under investigation for allegations of antisemitism. The Department of Justice also announced the creation of a federal task force to investigate the issue, and said Boston would be one of the cities targeted in the work."

Timothy Snyder: "The federal government is undertaking to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate, on the grounds that as a student he led protests against the Israeli assault on Gaza. There is no accusation that Khalil committed a crime. He is being singled out, in what amounts to a test case for American authoritarianism as a whole, for the expression of his views.'

#Jewish protesters flood #TrumpTower's lobby to demand the #ColumbiaUniversity #activist's release

by Cedar Attanasio, AP, 3/13/2025

New York — "Demonstrators from a Jewish group filled the lobby of #TrumpTower on Thursday to denounce the immigration arrest of #MahmoudKhalil, a #ProPalestinian activist who helped lead protests against #Israel at Columbia University.

"The demonstrators from Jewish Voice for Peace wore red shirts reading 'Jews say stop arming Israel' and held up banners as they chanted 'Bring Mahmoud home now!' on the lower level of the Fifth Avenue building's public atrium.

"After warning the protesters to leave, police said they arrested 98 people who stayed on various charges, including trespassing, obstruction and resisting arrest.

"Khalil, a 30-year-old permanent U.S. resident who is married to an American citizen and who hasn't been charged with breaking any laws, was arrested outside his New York City apartment Saturday and faces deportation. He's being held at an immigration detention center in Louisiana."

The Legal Argument That Could Set #MahmoudKhalil Free

Lawyers trying to free the #ColumbiaUniversity activist point to a legal exception undermining the #Trump administration’s argument.

“The government doesn’t get to decide what you can talk about and what you cannot talk about based on whether or not it helps the U.S.”

by Jonah Valdez, March 13 2025

"Khalil’s attorneys plan to contest his detention on free speech grounds under the First Amendment and by challenging the government’s use of the '#ForeigPolicy' provision. By evoking the 'foreign policy' provision, the Trump administration is making a clear statement not just about its foreign policy goals but also free speech, Azmy said.

"'The United States government thinks Mahmoud’s speech in favor of Palestinian human rights and to end the genocide is not only contrary to U.S. foreign policy, which is something in itself, but that that dissent provides grounds for arrest, detention, and deportation,' Azmy said. 'It’s an astonishing claim.'

"Central to their challenge in court will likely be another provision within the Immigration and Nationality Act that exempts #noncitizens facing deportation under the government’s “foreign policy” provision. The exception, known as Section 212(a)(3)(C)(iii), says that an individual cannot be deported under the 'foreign policy' provision cited by the government if their 'past, current, or expected beliefs, statements, or associations, if such beliefs, statements, or associations would be lawful within the United States.'

"In other words, since Khalil’s past activities were protected free speech under the First Amendment, he should not be deported under the 'foreign policy' provision cited by the government, Azmy said. The Department of Homeland Security has said it arrested Khalil, a lead negotiator for #Palestine solidarity protesters at Columbia, for having 'led activities aligned to Hamas.' But even if such alignments exist, advocacy is protected activity in the U.S., Khalil’s attorneys maintain.

"'If there is constitutionally protected speech,' Azmy said. 'It doesn’t matter if it goes adverse to the foreign policy interests of the United States — it’s still protected. The government doesn’t get to decide what you can talk about and what you cannot talk about based on whether or not it helps the U.S.'"
