Mahmoud Khalil , a pro-Palestinian activist and Columbia University student, was arrested by U.S. immigration agents in March .

He has been detained in a Louisiana facility since plainclothes officers took him from his apartment building as his pregnant wife recorded in early March .

The State Department revoked his green card under a little-used provision of US immigration law allowing the deportation of any non-citizen whose presence in the country is deemed adverse to US foreign policy interests.

A federal judge in New Jersey intervened to allow the family to meet sans plexiglass between them.

Khalil , still in detention, was not able to attend Columbia ’s graduation.

His absence was noted, loudly, as a crescendo of boos and shouts of “Free Mahmoud” drowned out the acting president, Claire Shipman .

His wife accepted a diploma on Khalil 's behalf during an alternative graduation ceremony on May 18 .
