Summary

Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University student, asked the Supreme Court on Monday to take up his case and let federal courts quickly review the legality of immigration detentions. He seeks to block the Trump administration from rearresting him and to sue over alleged First Amendment violations, saying his earlier months-long detention was retaliation for pro-Palestinian speech.
