Emergency Rally: Release Mahmoud Khalil

Last Saturday, ICE/DHS agents illegally abducted Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student activist for Palestinian rights and U.S. permanent resident, in front of his 8 month pregnant wife from his home in New York City.

Mahmoud has been targeted for his political speech and activism in support of Palestinian freedom and for an end to Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. This political persecution has worsened after the Biden administration’s transition as the Trump administration attempts to carry out deportations like Mahmoud’s in the name of fighting “anti-semitism”. This is nothing short of this administration’s egregious attack on all people’s free speech.

Sacramento, we are calling for an emergency rally to show our solidarity to Mahmoud Khalil this March 15th at 12pm in front of the Department of Homeland Security. We highly encourage everyone to mask up because the flu, bug, and COVID rates are high.
