Mahmoud Khalil reunites with family after more than 100 days in Ice detention

Columbia graduate and legal US resident was targeted by White House for speaking out against the Israeli war in Gaza

Mahmoud Khalil - the Palestinian rights activist, Columbia University graduate and legal permanent resident of the US who had been held by federal immigration authorities for more than three months - has been reunited with his wife and infant son.

Khalil, the most high-profile student to be targeted by the Trump administration for speaking out against Israel's war on Gaza, arrived in New Jersey on Saturday at about 1pm - two hours later than expected after his flight was first rerouted to Philadelphia.
