Mahmoud Khalil Discusses 3-Month Detention in First Interview Since Release
By Jonah E. Bromwich
June 22, 2025 Updated 8:10 p.m. ETThe administration argued that he had contributed to the spread of antisemitism through his role in the protests at the university.
But Mr. Khalil, a Palestinian born in a Syrian refugee camp, rejected the idea that protesting against Israel is inherently antisemitic.
“I was not doing anything antisemitic,” he said. “I was literally advocating for the right of my people. I was literally advocating for an end of a genocide. I was advocating that the tuition fees that I and other students pay don’t go toward investing in weapons manufacturers. What’s antisemitic about this?”

The image depicts a scene from a pixelated video game, likely from the late 1990s or early 2000s. The scene is set in a blue-tiled corridor with a diamond pattern, suggesting a stone or tiled floor. The corridor is flanked by structures on both sides, possibly buildings or platforms, with a lamp post visible on the right side.
In the center of the image, a character with blue hair and a blue outfit stands prominently, holding a round object, possibly a shield or a weapon. This character is facing the viewer. To the left, another character with black hair and a blue outfit is partially visible, walking away from the viewer. In the background, a small figure is seen walking away from the viewer, adding depth to the scene.
The overall color palette is dominated by shades of blue, with the characters' outfits providing contrast. The pixelated graphics and the style of the characters are indicative of the visual style of classic role-playing games from that era.

For this story, John Woodrow Cox interviewed more than 40 farmers across the country. He and photographer Matt McClain reported from Colorado while Sarah Blaskey talked to more than two dozen employees at the U.S. Agriculture Department and reviewed hundreds of documents and records that revealed the extent of the cuts and freezes.
June 21, 2025 at 6:05 a.m. EDT"The federal government had promised JJ a $200,000 grant, spread across two years, to cover the cost of a seasonal farmhand from Latin America. In a place where local, legal help was nearly impossible to keep, the extra worker would give him the freedom to handle more jobs and invest in his own equipment. It was an opportunity that could transform his family’s future, but, JJ explained to his friend, President Donald Trump had frozen the money."
