Call for release of Mahmoud Khalil by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents (ICE) and for investigation into circumstances surrounding his detention
The Committee and City Council of Chicago condemned ICE's arrest of Columbia student and Gaza Solidarity Encampment negotiator, Mahmoud Khalil, on March 12, 2025. Responding to Rubio, the New York Civil Liberties Union's Donna Lieberman, and an Associated Press article, the resolution demands Khalil's release, an investigation, and the protection of immigrants' rights.
