A video has surfaced showing Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil interacting with ICE agents in the moments before his detention. Khalil's legal team released the footage on Monday, arguing it undermines the government's assertion that he posed a flight risk. The video shows Khalil speaking with the agents.
The legal team contends that Khalil's behavior in the video demonstrates his willingness to cooperate with authorities and contradicts the government's claim. They believe the footage provides crucial context to the events leading up to his arrest. Khalil's detention has sparked controversy and raised questions about immigration enforcement practices.
