“Shalom, Mahmoud,” the Trump White House declared last week on social media, celebrating the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian student at Columbia University.

It took Khalil’s lawyers more than 24 hours to learn that he had been moved to an ICE detention facility in Louisiana operated by the private prison company GEO Group.
