“Khalil is a lawful permanent resident of our nation who has not been charged with or convicted of a single crime,” the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, said in a statement.

“The Department of Homeland Security’s lawless decision to arrest him solely because of his peaceful anti-genocide activism represents a blatant attack on the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech, immigration laws, and the very humanity of Palestinians,” CAIR added.
