He said Mahmoud Khalil is a “radical pro-Hamas foreign student” and that the demonstrations are driven by “paid agitators.”
The president of United States, Donald Trump, has assured that the arrest of Mahmud Khalil, an activist who led pro-Palestinian protests on the Columbia University campus, is “the first of many” and has taken the opportunity to describe the detainee as a “radical foreign student” and related to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).
“This is the first arrest of many to come. We know that there are more students at Columbia and other universities across the country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, and anti-American activities, and the Trump Administration will not tolerate it,” he said on his profile on Truth Social.
Thus, Trump has defended that his government, hand in hand with the Immigration and Customs Service (ICE), “will find, detain and deport” “terrorist sympathizers” so that they “never return” to the United States, “many of whom are not students.”, they are paid agitators”.
“If you support terrorism, including the murder of innocent men, women and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests, and you are not welcome here. We expect all colleges and universities in the United States to comply,” the US president said.
Immigration authorities arrested Jalil the day before, an activist who led pro-Palestinian protests on the campus of the Columbia University, located in New York City, demonstrations that resulted in the arrest of hundreds of protesters in late April and early May 2024.
The arrest of the activist, a legal permanent resident in the United States, is a significant escalation of Trump's action against what he considers a Anti-Semitic activity on campusJalil, of Palestinian origin, graduated in December with a master's degree in international relations.
The United States government on Friday froze a total of 400 million (368 million euros) in federal grants to Columbia University in retaliation for the educational institutions’ “continued inaction” in the face of anti-Semitism, days after a Trump administration task force on anti-Semitism notified the university that it would conduct a “comprehensive review” of grants and contracts.
Columbia, along with other universities, was the scene of Massive pro-Palestinian protests following Israeli offensive in Gaza Strip which has left more than 48.400 dead after the attacks on October 7, 2023 by Hamas and Palestinian groups against Israeli territory, which resulted in 1.200 deaths and 240 hostages.

"Israel's suspension of food and aid deliveries worsens the crisis in Gaza." https://www.eleconomista.com.mx/internacionales/suspension-entregas-alimentos-ayuda-israel-agrava-crisis-gaza-20250310-749877.html
In reality, the failure to hand over the released hostages to Israel is exacerbating the Gaza crisis.
Israel has always provided electricity, water, food, and medicine out of its own pocket to Gaza and its Palestinians, and the Palestinians have used the multi-million dollar support received from the UN, UNWRA, and other so-called humanitarian foundations so that the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas can seize these funds, not hand them over for its own benefit or sell them to the Palestinians themselves, and so that Hamas can use them to re-arm itself militarily against Israel…
One way to force the release of hostages, whether alive or dead, is to limit such support.
What does the author of the news article propose for freeing the remaining Hamas hostages?
This way, the Vatican logistics news article would not look very anti-Semitic.
May God bless, protect, strengthen and give wisdom to Israel and Mexico always….,!!!
More US Opponents Possible Arrests. Several More Under Surveillance.
I DON'T LIKE BEING FORCED TO OPEN THE ADVERTISEMENT IN ORDER TO READ AURORA.
URBIS ET ORBIS DECLARATION.
"For every ten students involved who are to be falsely 'free' or without a 'proper' trial, one letter should be removed from the name of Columbia University. Likewise, for every university in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, etc. For terrorism, no university withdrawal represents an effective change."
The above "declaration" should be printed, in smaller print, on the diploma of every student involved, and even in the statutes of every university involved in the anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist, and anti-American riots that occurred from 2020 to 2024. If retroactive, it would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Secretary of Education or Minister of Education in each territory and country, regarding previous, similar riots since 1968.
To this end, the universities involved should collect the issued degrees and carry out the corresponding oversight measures suggested above. They would then seal the respective diplomas, including the Declaration mentioned here.
Publish and comply.
