A Manhattan federal court hearing is scheduled Wednesday in a suit challenging the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate student that the Trump Administration is trying to deport over his visible role in pro-Palestinian protests at the New York City university last year.

Federal agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian student who played a major role in last year's protests at Columbia University, students said.

Agents told Mahmoud Khalil’s attorney that they were revoking Khalil’s green card. He is legally considered a permanent resident.
