US media reported that a federal judge ordered Columbia University student and activist Mahmoud Khalil to be released on bail after three months of detention.

When U.S. immigration and customs law enforcement arrested him in New York on March 8, Mr. Harrier became a symbol of the Trump administration’s high-profile crackdown on colleges and foreign students.

Mr. Harrier was a famous voice during the pro-Palestine protests in Colombia last year, and his arrest sparked demonstrations in New York and Washington, D.C.

News media reported that U.S. District Court Judge Michael Farbiarz of New Jersey believes that Mr. Harrier is not a flight risk.
