The U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), of which MAS is a member, demands the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil, a legal U.S. permanent resident and Palestinian activist who was abducted from his home by ICE agents in a blatant act of political retaliation.
This is not just about Mahmoud. This is about all of us. The U.S. government is detaining people for speaking out on Palestine, setting a terrifying precedent that threatens free speech, civil rights, and due process in America. If we stay silent, we allow our government to weaponize immigration enforcement to silence voices of dissent.
What Happened?
Mahmoud Khalil, a legal U.S. permanent resident, was taken from his home by ICE agents without cause.
His 8-month pregnant wife was denied the chance to see him as he was forcibly detained.
He has no criminal record—this is a politically motivated detention aimed at silencing those who speak out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
This violates the U.S. Constitution. The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech, and the Fifth Amendment ensures due process—both are being ignored.
Why This Matters
Mahmoud Khalil’s detention is an attack on all activists, immigrants, and those who dare to challenge U.S. foreign policy. If we allow this to happen, we set a dangerous precedent—where the government can silence any of us through fear and intimidation. This is not just about one man. This is about ensuring that our country does not slide further into political repression.
