Columbia University graduate and activist Mahmoud Khalil, detained for over three months, has been released on bail after a federal judge ruled him not a flight risk. Khalil, targeted for his pro-Palestinian protests, criticized the Trump administration's actions and expressed eagerness to reunite with his family. While the government accuses Khalil of engaging in conduct detrimental to American foreign policy interests, a judge ruled the basis for his detention likely unconstitutional.
