You've probably already heard about the sob story regarding Columbia grad student and pro-Hamas activist Mahmoud Kahlil not being able to witness the birth of his son because he was in ICE custody. His wife Abdalla accused ICE and the Trump administration of stealing "these precious moments from our family in an attempt to silence Mahmoud's support for Palestinian freedom." 

Kahlil's story had kind of been shifted to the back burner in favor of an MS-13 gang member and a Maryland man whom at least five Democrats have flown to El Salvador to check on his well-being and demand his release back to the United States, even though he's a citizen of El Salvador and was here illegally.

On April 14, we reported on who we thought was going to be the Left's big hero: Columbia University pro-Hamas protest leader Mohsen Mahdawi, who was arrested by ICE. The irony? He was arrested during a visit to an immigration office in Vermont, where he was attending his interview to become a U.S. citizen.

As our own Just Mindy reported, David Collier unmasked Mahdawi, who lied about his past, claimed in an Instagram post that his two cousins were "assassinated" by Israeli snipers, and launched Facebook groups glorifying convicted terrorists:

Sen. Peter Welch met with Mahdawi on Easter and says he should be released and allowed to become a U.S. citizen.

He was so close!

We have enough rich white Ivy League kids promoting Hamas on campus — we really don't need one who's here on a green card.

He's not a citizen. He's in the United States as a guest. He promotes terrorism and harasses Jews on Columbia's campus with a bullhorn. What would he bring to America as a citizen? We have enough terrorist sympathizers who were born here — we really don't need to import any more.
