Mahmodd Khalil described being seized by DHS agents in front of his visibly pregnant American wife, held incommunicado, and transported across the country without access to lawyers or any clear explanation, all after being labeled a foreign policy threat for speaking out against the killing of Palestinians and serving as a visible negotiator in Columbia protests; he says the government never charged him with a crime, later tried to justify his detention through a fabricated green-card issue, and that both the Trump administration and Columbia University played roles in targeting him and other Palestinian students. He also spoke about the trauma of ICE detention, describing harsh conditions, isolation, and the psychological pressure placed on detainees to give up and sign deportation orders, while emphasizing that his fight is not just for himself but for free speech, dignity, and accountability for broader abuses in the system.Subscribe to Fast Politics and listen 4x a week for interviews just like this on your favorite podcast app: https://episodes.fm/1645614328
