Immigration enforcement agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a permanent U.S. resident who is married to an American citizen, in New York on Saturday.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mahmoud Khalil will remain detained in Louisiana until at least next week following an initial court hearing in New York on Wednesday over the Trump administration's plans to deport the Columbia University graduate student for his role in campus protests against Israel.

A lawyer for the U.S. government on Wednesday said a federal judge in New York does not have jurisdiction to hear a Columbia University student's challenge to his arrest by immigration authorities. The case has become a flashpoint of the Trump administration's pledge to deport pro-Palestinian college activists.
