Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil was released from an immigration prison in the United States after 104 days of detention.
The announcement follows the decision of Friday of a US federal judge who ordered Donald Trump executive the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a student detained for his pro-Palestinian activism at Columbia University.
Mahmoud Khalil has become a symbol of the repression of US President Donald Trump to protests on his university campuses.
The former graduate student at Columbia University left a federal installation in Louisiana on Friday and is expected to go to New York to meet with his wife, American citizen, and his newborn son.
In his decision, district judge Michael Farbiarz said it would be “highly unusual” the government continuing to stop a legal resident in the country that would probably not run away and had not been accused of any violence.
The judge of New Jersey also considered that Khalil probably does not pose a risk of escape or danger to the community, “strictly” that it is returned to freedom.
The government “clearly did not fulfill” the detention standards, later said at the one -hour audience held by telephone.
Farbiarz had decided last week that the government could not deport Khalil based on the reasons presented, admitting that the young man could be withdrawn from the country for giving false information in his request for residence authorization.
