Mahmoud Khalil, the student of the University of Columbia and Protective Manifestant, came out on Friday on bail, after being arrested for the Immigration and Customs Control Service (ICE) more than three months ago.

Khalil became a symbol of the repression of the Trump administration against foreign universities and students when ICE agents arrested him in New York on March 8.

The American district judge Michael Farbiarz determined that Khalil does not imply a risk of escape or a threat to his community, and that he could be released during the immigration procedure, according to the CBS News chain, a BBC partner in the USA.

Khalil, whose wife is American, left the detention center in Jena, Louisiana, in the company of her lawyers and with a Kaffiyeh, symbol of Palestinian solidarity.
