New documents entered in a New Jersey court on Thursday show that the federal government defended its warrantless arrest of Columbia University student activist Mahmoud Khalil by saying agents feared he’d flee because he said he would leave the scene. The documents were entered into the court record to defend against efforts by lawyers to win freedom for Khalil, who has been held in a detention center in Jena, Louisiana, for six weeks. In a document filed in Newark federal court, a lawyer for the Department of Homeland Security wrote on Monday that agents conducting surveillance of Khalil on March 8 were notified that he could be removed from the country because his presence or activities would have serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States.
