Mahmoud Khalil met with Democratic lawmakers Tuesday on Capitol Hill on the one-month anniversary of his release from immigration detention.
His three months in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody wasn’t the primary focus of Khalil’s visit, however.
Khalil and his team met with eight lawmakers Tuesday, including Sen. Bernie Sanders and Reps. Ayanna Pressley and Summer Lee to advocate for ending U.S. aid to Israel, according to Khalil’s spokesperson. Rep. Rashida Tlaib also met with Khalil, according to reporters.
