TAKE ACTION

DALLAS 🚨🚨🚨 Join us for an emergency press conference in front of the Dallas ICE facility to reject the recent decision in Mahmoud Khalil’s case, demand his immediate release, and demand an end to ICE targeting of our students and communities more widely. We will be joined by imam Omar Suleiman and other community activists inshaAllah, please share widely with any media contacts you have.
Mahmoud Khalil—a Palestinian activist—is being detained and threatened with deportation for calling for an end to the U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza.
This is not about law—it’s about silencing those who challenge the status quo that cheers on imperialism and genocide. Mahmoud’s case is part of a broader pattern of repression meant to intimidate the pro-Palestine movement and oppress immigrant communities across the U.S. We won’t let them succeed.
FREE MAHMOUD. FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS. ICE OFF OUR CAMPUSES. ICE OUT OF OUR CITIES.
📆 TUESDAY, APRIL 15 🕐 11:30 AM 📍ICE Building – 8101 N Stemmons Fwy, Dallas, TX
