Today in Manhattan, a federal judge will hear arguments over the legality of the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate who organized and participated in pro-Palestinian protests. In a habeas corpus petition filed Sunday, lawyers are asking the judge to return Mr. Khalil to New York and declare his detention violates the First Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Jen Rubin and Mike Zamore discuss.
