Watch live: Progressives hold press conference on Mahmoud Khalil's detention
A group of progressive House Democrats will hold a press conference Tuesday morning on the ongoing detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columba University graduate who led campus protests against Israel's war in Gaza last year.
Among the lawmakers who plan to join: Reps. Delia Ramirez (Ill.), Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Pramila Jayapal (Wash.) and Greg Casar (Texas).
Khalil's arrest has spread fear among Pro-Palestinian activists and green card holders, no longer sure of their freedoms and protections.
The Department of Justice on Monday accused Khalil of covering up work for multiple organizations in his application to become a permanent resident.
The press conference is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. EDT
