A federal judge is ordering the release of Columbia University pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil.
U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz indicated that he will issue an order requiring that Khalil be released today. He denied a motion by the government to stay the ruling for seven days.
The judge asked the parties to consult with a magistrate judge about any conditions that will be attached to Khalil’s release on bail.
See. We live in a perfectly free nation where you can only be illegally detained for protected speech for 3 months before a judge says you can go home but still have to report for trial.
Just hope you don’t have children or other dependents you’re supporting in those 3 months you can’t work. Or have to pay rent.
