Federal immigration agents defend the warrantless arrest of anti-Israel protester Mahmoud Khalil, stating that the arrest was legal. Khalil was arrested last month from his university-owned apartment in New York City and is now being detained in a Louisiana detention center. Lawyers for Khalil dispute the government's account of the situation and argue that the Trump administration has shown no evidence that he refused to cooperate with agents during his arrest. Khalil's case has sparked protests and is seen as a marker of the Trump administration's attempts to detain and deport visa holders who protested on college campuses.
