We have incredible news to share: Mahmoud Khalil is being freed.

After more than three harrowing months of imprisonment, a federal judge just ordered that Mahmoud Khalil be released on bail today pending a decision on his immigration case. During the hearing, the judge refuted the U.S. government’s claims that Mahmoud was a flight risk or dangerous to the public, and rejected the government’s request for a stay that would have kept Mahmoud imprisoned for at least another week.

Today, Mahmoud will walk out of detention and return to New York back into the arms of his wife, Noor, and their newborn child.

We celebrate this win, but we know the fight is not over yet. While Mahmoud returns to his family on bail, his case proceeds in immigration court.

Can you write to your lawmakers now and demand they call for Mahmoud Khalil’s case to be dismissed?
