‘It’s not because I want people to think I’m great’: Michael Sheen on paying off £1m of his neighbours’ debts
The actor grew up poor, got rich, then lost everything backing the 2019 Homeless World Cup. Now he’s giving away more of his money to help 900 total strangers. Doesn’t he think he’s done enough?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

Filings in the case are automatically under seal because of its designation as an immigration-related case.

It was only *after* the habeas petition was filed, per Khalil's lawyers, that the efforts to transfer Khalil began in earnest — without notice to those lawyers in the pending habeas petition.
![Hours after the petition challenging its detention authority was filed, however, ICE began efforts to transfer Mr. Khalil out of the region and to a Louisiana detention facility a thousand miles away, without providing him any access to his counsel, and without providing counsel of record on his pending habeas petition any advance notice of this transfer or any information with
respect to any justification for his detention. This seemingly retaliatory action is particularly troubling given that a central basis for Mr. Khalil's claim for habeas relief is that his very arrest and detention were in retaliation for Mr. Khalil's constitutionally protected advocacy on behalf of Palestinian human rights. Respondents' retaliatory and punitive motives have since been
confirmed.[1]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreihcomcgtd3thnbf5yst4tbdniorjd3avvopzqwjpimixwccqfeuni@jpeg)
![1 / The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, stated on social media that "ICE proudly apprehended and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Radical Foreign Pro-Hamas Student on the campus of Columbia University." Baseless and inflammatory though it is, this rhetoric at the highest level of government reflects the improper motives animating Respondents' actions towards Petitioner. Moreover, according to Tricia McLaughlin, a DHS spokesperson:
"On March 9, 2025, in support of President Trump's executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism, and in coordination with the Department of State, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student. Khalil led activities aligned to [sic] Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.
ICE and the Department of State are committed to enforcing President Trump's executive orders and to protecting
U.S. national security." Though the legality of detention because of speech supporting Palestinian human rights, which Respondents believe is "aligned to Hamas," will ultimately be at issue in Mr. Khalil's habeas petition, it need not be adjudicated in the context of the limited relief sought in this motion. What these statements taken together make immediately clear, however, is that the role of the Court in protecting Petitioner from unlawful detention is paramount.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreigs6n5ic6t4yykghdqxqf6masiok3h6wyrn4qmjhqzxq5j5qmlqcq@jpeg)
