The move comes days after the Trump administration announced it was pulling $400 million in funding from Columbia University.

U.S. immigration agents arrested a Palestinian graduate student who has played a prominent role in pro-Palestinian protests at New York's Columbia University as part of U.S. President Donald Trump's promised crackdown on some anti-Israel activists.

Mahmoud Khalil was picked up by immigration officers who said they were acting on State Department orders to revoke his green card, his attorney says.

The Trump administration says it’s pulling $400 million from Columbia University. Multiple federal agencies announced Friday that they're canceling grants and contracts because of what the government describes as the Ivy League school’s lackluster efforts to squelch antisemitism on campus.

The administration has alleged the school failed to combat campus anti-Semitism amid Israel-Gaza protests.

Columbia University's interim president said the school is working to address the "legitimate concerns" of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration after $400 million of federal government grants and contracts to the university were canceled over allegations of antisemitism on campus.
