Mahmoud Khalil finally had a chance to watch a video of artists and actors reading Mahmoud’s letter to his newborn son from ICE detention.
We’re overjoyed that Mahmoud is free to be with his family while his case proceeds. We'll keep fighting for everyone’s rights to free speech and due process.

A win! A federal judge has ordered the government to restore hundreds of NIH grants slashed by the Trump administration, ruling the cuts were discriminatory against minorities and LGBTQ individuals. The judge said he’d have to be “blind” not to see the discrimination and declared the cuts illegal.
