We need to make noise, Carl:
Today Mahmoud Khalil is having another hearing in front of a judge. His legal team is fighting to stop his deportation and public and political pressure is critically important to ensure that he can stay in the U.S. with his family.
Click here to help bring mass attention to Mahmoud’s case and help us work to protect his human rights. This action takes less than 1 minute and your elected leaders need to know where you stand.
Super quick: I know you’ve already taken action, Carl. Your senators and representative received your letter, and right now, we’re asking that you take a moment to email them again. They need to know we’re not backing down until they take more concrete action.
Mahmoud belongs at home, welcoming his first child — whose birth he missed because he was denied a request for temporary release to be by his wife’s side as she was delivering their son.
Instead, he is being unlawfully held inside a Louisiana detention center known as one of the harshest ICE facilities in the U.S.
Here’s what you need to know: The U.S. government admitted that ICE agents did not have a warrant when they arrested and detained Mahmoud in March 1. Still, last month a judge denied a request from his attorneys to dismiss his deportation case 2.
Mahmoud’s arrest is not isolated — it’s part of a sweeping campaign by the Trump administration to silence student activists and immigrants. The Trump administration is pushing to revoke Mahmoud’s immigration status — and those of countless others — simply for exercising their right to speak their mind and peacefully protest.
Mahmoud is a lawful permanent resident with the rights to freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, and due process — rights that all who live in the U.S. have, regardless of immigration status.
It’s unlawful. It’s outrageous. And it’s happening in real time. Now is not the time to be silent — join us to demand freedom and justice for Mahmoud Khalil.
