NYC Mayor hosts detained Syrian activist Mahmoud Khalil at Ramadan iftar, highlighting free speech amid deportation case.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani hosted Mahmoud Khalil, a Syrian-born activist and former Columbia University graduate student, at a Ramadan iftar at Gracie Mansion in March 2026.
Khalil, detained by ICE in early 2025 and facing deportation over allegations of green card fraud and ties to Hamas, was released after a New Jersey appeals court ruled he should have been allowed to work during his immigration process.
The mayor, who has publicly supported Khalil, shared a photo of the family breaking fast together, highlighting Khalil’s status as a New Yorker and framing the event as a stand for free speech amid ongoing legal battles.
