联邦特工的夜晚逮捕马哈茂德·哈利勒(Mahmoud Khalil)在哥伦比亚大学(Columbia University)的校园里，根据他的律师提交给法庭的一份新文件中的宣誓声明，这位巴勒斯坦活动人士担心自己会被立即驱逐出境。
哈利勒是去年春天哥伦比亚营地抗议活动的领导人，于3月8日被拘留。根据文件，他被从他的学生公寓大楼带到曼哈顿下城的联邦广场26号，然后被带到新泽西州伊丽莎白的移民拘留设施。
根据文件，在等待进入一个处理室后，哈利勒说他被告知“他们不需要你在那个房间里”和“你正在被转移”。
文件显示，两名特工抵达后将他押送到一辆货车上。
“我问我们是否要回到联邦广场26号，我被告知，‘不，我们要去JFK机场，’”哈利勒在文件中说。"我担心他们试图驱逐我。"
在法庭文件中，哈利勒的律师要求他从路易斯安那州返回纽约，他被关押在那里，等待本月晚些时候在移民法官面前出庭。
他的律师此前在另一份文件中要求立即释放他。
在等待飞往路易斯安那州的航班时，哈利勒说，根据他的宣誓声明，他知道了陪同他的一名特工的名字，阿卜杜勒。另一个特工戴着一顶洋基队的帽子，他说。
“阿卜杜勒告诉我，他护送我去路易斯安那州，因为‘没有人愿意接受护送我的工作’，‘因为那天是星期天’，”他在文件中说。
哈利勒的律师说，在他被拘留期间，便衣移民和海关执法人员说他的学生签证被吊销了——尽管哈利勒持绿卡在美国。他与一名美国公民结婚，他没有被指控犯罪。
唐纳德·特朗普总统政府的官员表示，哈利勒因据称支持哈马斯而被拘留，他的法律团队否认了这一说法。
一名联邦法官在权衡一份质疑逮捕哈利勒的请愿书时，阻止了哈利勒离开美国。
他将于3月27日在移民法官面前出庭。
Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil describes his arrest in new court filing
The night federal agentsarrestedMahmoud Khalil on Columbia University's campus, the Palestinian activist feared he would be immediately deported, according to a sworn declaration included in a new court filing by his attorneys.
Khalil, a leader of the encampment protests at Columbia last spring, was detained on March 8. He was taken from his student apartment building to 26 Federal Plaza in lower Manhattan, and then to an immigration detention facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey, according to the filing.
After waiting to enter a processing room, Khalil said he was told "they don't need you in that room" and "you're being transported," according to the filing.
Two agents arrived to escort him to a van, according to the filing.
"I asked if we were going back to 26 Federal Plaza, and I was told, 'No, we are going to JFK Airport,'" Khalil said in the filing. "I was afraid they were trying to deport me."
In the court filing, Khalil's attorneys ask for his return to New York from Louisiana, where he is being held pending an appearance in front of an immigration judge later this month.
His attorneys had previously asked for his immediate release in a separate filing.
While waiting for the flight to Louisiana, Khalil said he learned the name of one of the agents accompanying him, Abdul, according to his sworn declaration. The other agent wore a Yankees hat, he said.
"Abdul told me that he was escorting me to Louisiana because 'no one wanted to take it' -- the job of escorting me -- 'because it was a Sunday,'" he said in the filing.
Khalil's lawyers said that during his detainment, plain-clothed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents said his student visa had been revoked -- even though Khalil is in the U.S. on a green card. He is married to an American citizen, and he has not been charged with a crime.
Officials from President Donald Trump's administration have said Khalil was detained for his purported support of Hamas -- a claim his legal team has rejected.
A federal judge has blocked Khalil's removal from the U.S. while weighing a petition challenging his arrest.
He is set to appear before an immigration judge on March 27.
