Santiago/Getty Images ‘COWARDICE INTO POLICY’  — A federal judge ruled today that Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University grad student arrested Saturday night by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials, would for now remain detained in Louisiana. Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist with a green card, had his deportation halted by Judge Jesse M. Furman, who ruled that he will remain in America until the court says otherwise.
