The US authorities have arrested a Palestinian graduate student who played an outstanding role in last year's pro-palestinian protests at the Columbia University of New York.
According to the reports, the student, Mahmoud Khalil, of the University of International and Public Affairs of the University, was arrested by the agents of the United States National Security Department in their university residence on Saturday.
He met that Khalil was one of the negotiators with university administrators on behalf of the Pro-Palestinian student protesters, who established a tent camp on a grass of Columbia last year.
Khalil's arrest seems to be one of Trump's first efforts, a Republican who returned to the White House in January, to fulfill his promise to seek deportation of some foreign students involved in the Pro-Palestinian protest movement.
The Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 against Israel and the subsequent Israeli assault to Gaza led to months of pro-palestinian protests that toured the American university campuses.
A Columbia spokesman said the law was prohibited by the law sharing information about individual students.
Meanwhile, the spokesmen of the Department of National Security and the State Department, which supervises the country's visa system, have not yet commented on the issue.
Remember that the Trump Administration said Friday that it had canceled government contracts and subsidies granted to Columbia University worth approximately $ 400 million.
According to the Government, the cuts of funds and the deportation efforts of the students are due to anti -Semitic harassment on the Manhattan Campus of Columbia and near Columbia.
