Episode Details

A Palestinian activist, Mahmoud Khalil, is suing Columbia University for allegedly ignoring harassment against him and his pro-Palestinian group—and then retaliating by labeling their events as security threats and restricting criticism of Israel. The lawsuit claims the university’s inaction led to student doxxing and Khalil’s detention by immigration officials, which he endured for 104 days before being released—missing the birth of his child. This isn’t his first legal battle with the school; he previously sued to block student records from being shared with Congress. Now, Khalil seeks damages and a court order to restore his campus access and reinstate his student group. Columbia maintains it takes harassment seriously and responds promptly to concerns, but Khalil accuses the university of enabling a hostile environment.
