Mahmoud Khalil: Trump admin wants to ‘make an example out of me'
Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil said during a recent appearance on CNN that President Trump's administration wanted use him as 'an example' after he was detained for over three months. 'It's absurd. It's basically to intimidate me. They want to conflate any speech for the right of Palestinians with a speech that's supporting terrorism, which is totally wrong,' Khalil, a green card holder and former Columbia University student, told CNN's Christiane Amanpour. Federal immigration agents arrested Khalil in early March and he was detained for over 100 days. Khalil was not charged with a crime and ended up being released last month. Khalil's case was the first arrested in a push by the administration to crack down on foreign students protesting on college campuses against the Israel-Hamas war. 'The protests were peaceful. We're asking a simple ask to stop Columbia University and the U.S. complicity in the genocide that's happening in Gaza,' Khalil said. 'And that's why I see these accusations as intimidation.' 'This is what's happening or what happened to me and to others. And it's a message that they want to make an example out of me,' he added. 'Even if you are a legal resident, even if you are a citizen, actually that we will find a way to come after you.' Khalil's lawyers filed a claim on Thursday for $20 million in damages against the administration, contending that the Palestinian activist faced political retaliation for his activism. White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Axios that Khali has 'consistently engaged in conduct detrimental to American foreign policy interests.' During the Friday interview, Khalil detailed his experience while in custody in Louisiana. 'I was shackled all the time. And my ankles as well. It felt like I was criminal. I did not know what charges they have against me. And, by the time I arrived in Louisiana, my leg was, was fully swollen, and I couldn't walk to enter the detention center,' he said on Friday. 'So it was very, very dehumanizing experience, for someone who was not accused of any crime, whatsoever,' he continued. Khalil said being denied temporary release to see his son, who was born this spring, was the 'most difficult moment in my life,' adding that it 'could have been avoided.' 'And it's a combination of anger and happiness. I was happy that I'm finally holding him in my hands, but at the same time angry at the system that deprives people from such important moments in their lives,' he said.

The Jewish-American lawmaker, former U.S. Marine and 'staunch defender of Israel' said it happened while he was on his way to work on Thursday in Ohio's 7th Congressional District. Browns address speeding tickets with rookie QB Shedeur Sanders 'As I was driving to work, some unhinged, deranged man decided to lay on his horn and run me off the road when he couldn't get my attention to show me a Palestinian flag,' Miller, 36, said in the video. 'Not to mention 'Death to Israel,' death to me — that he wanted to kill me and my family. 'Thank God my daughter was not in my vehicle or anybody else at the time.' Miller said in the post that he filed police reports with Rocky River police and the United States Capitol Police in Washington, D.C. 'We will not hide. I will continue to fight against antisemitism, Islamophobia and all other forms of hate,' he said. 'We know who you are, young man,' Miller said, referring to the unidentified assailant. 'And the police are going to be paying you a visit.'

Local doctor indicted on ethnic intimidation in threats against Jewish-American congressman Max Miller
[Watch previous FOX 8 News coverage in the player above.] CLEVELAND (WJW) — A local doctor accused of threatening to kill U.S. Rep. Max Miller (R-Rocky River) and his family in an 'antisemitic' rant on a local highway has been indicted on new felony charges. Miller, who is Jewish-American, in a June social media post claimed that while he was on his way to work, the man tried to run him off the highway, while showing him a photo of a Palestinian flag on a cell phone and yelling 'Death to Israel' and another profane remark against Jewish people. Italy outraged at killing of police bloodhound, found dead after eating food laced with nails It happened just before 9:30 a.m. on June 19, 2025, on Interstate 90 East in Rocky River, according to authorities. Feras S. Hamdan, 36, of Avon, was initially charged with misdemeanor counts of ethnic intimidation and aggravated menacing in the Rocky River Municipal Court, to which he pleaded not guilty and was handed a $500,000 bond. A Cuyahoga County grand jury has since indicted him on felony counts of ethnic intimidation and tampering with evidence, as well as misdemeanor counts of aggravated menacing and menacing. 'Threatening violence towards an elected official and their family is unacceptable and will not be tolerated,' Prosecutor Michael O'Malley is quoted in the release. 'This type of mindless behavior is happening all too frequently in our country and it must come to an end. We are thankful no one was injured during this incident and for the exceptional investigation by the Rocky River Police Department which led to this prompt arrest and indictment.' Prosecutors allege Hamdan pulled up alongside Miller in his vehicle, honked his horn, then swerved into Miller's vehicle, causing Miller to swerve to avoid him. Miller then slowed down and drove next to Miller's car, and began threatening him and his family. Miller got off the highway and called 911. Hamdan followed, stopped near him and continued yelling at him, then fled the scene, according to the release. Hamdan recorded part of the interaction on his phone, sent that recording to others, then deleted it, according to county prosecutors. Former East Cleveland councilman sentenced after being found guilty in corruption case Hamdan later surrendered at the Rocky River Police Department and was booked into the Rocky River jail, according to police. At Hamdan's arraignment the day after the incident, Rocky River Prosecutor Michael O'Shea said authorities were still working to obtain the aforementioned cell phone for evidence. Speaking in open court, he warned that anyone suspected of tampering with the phone could face a felony charge more serious than the charges against Hamdan. Hamdan's attorney, Issa Elkhatib of Cleveland, said at Hamdan's arraignment last month that they would not surrender the phone, considering it a violation of Hamdan's First and Fourth amendment rights. Elkhatib said Hamdan is a natural-born U.S. citizen, a licensed physician with his own private practice and 'a model community member who has never committed a crime in his life.' Hamdan is set to be arraigned 'at a later date,' reads the release. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
