Since ICE agents arrested Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil in early March, Maryam, a student at Cornell University, doesn’t leave the house unless they need to. They started getting groceries delivered and rarely go out to the shops. While they still help support and organize local demonstrations against Israel’s war in Gaza, they no longer attend in person. When they do go out to class or to work, they write an employment lawyer’s phone number on their body and carry all their documentation. As a person of Arab descent who is in the U.S. on a student visa, Maryam worries that they could be swept up in the Trump administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestine activists. Recently, they installed security cameras outside their off-campus apartment. “It felt like a way I could protect myself,” they say, if immigration agents were to show up at the door.
