New video shows the arrest of Columbia University pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil by Immigrations and Custom Enforcement agents.
The video was taken by his wife Noor Abdalla, who is eight months pregnant, the ACLU said.
The arrest happened Saturday night at their home in Columbia University campus housing.
The video, which is more than eight minutes long, was released by the ACLU with the faces of the people arresting Khalil blurred. Khalil’s arrest on video
The video shows apparent ICE agents confront Khalil in the lobby of his building, asking him to turn around and telling him to stop resisting.
Khalil can be seen standing with his hands behind his back as he is handcuffed.
“He’s not resisting”, Abdalla can be heard saying on the video.
“I am coming with you, don’t worry”, Khalil says. “Baby, it’s fine.”
Khalil is then escorted out of the building as his wife can be heard on the phone, apparently talking with Khalil’s attorney Amy Greer.
