The detention of graduate student Mahmoud Khalil appears to be one of the first efforts by Donald Trump to fulfill his promise to seek the deportation of some foreign students involved in the pro-Palestinian protest movement.

If he broke laws then he should be charged for them but to punish someone for their political beliefs is not something anyone here should condone.
