Tell your U.S. Representative: Pass the Land of the Free Act!
The Trump administration has abused a provision in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to abduct, detain, and threaten to deport Mahmoud Khalil and others exercising their First Amendment rights to call for an end to Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza.
The Land of the Free Act, introduced by Reps. Deborah Ross and Becca Balint, would repeal this provision and protect pro-Palestinian activists.
An immigration judge in Louisiana in a ruling on September 12, ordered the deportation of Palestinian activist and student leader Mahmoud Khalil — the latest in the Trump administration’s political persecution of Mahmoud. The Trump administration arrested Mahmoud Khalil, held him in a Louisiana detention center for months, thousands of miles away from his wife and newborn baby, and is still trying to deport him.
The Land of the Free Act will take away a dangerous power the White House is weaponizing to punish pro-Palestinian speech and protest. Our U.S. Representatives must cosponsor and call for the swift passage of this legislation.Take action now: Tell your U.S. Representative: Pass the Land of the Free Act!
