A historical image of Martin Luther King Jr. Overlaying his image is a quote stating “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” The overlay text states, “WE MUST DROWN OUT THE SILENCE.” The text box below reads "Mahmoud Khalil is not alone. He is part of a growing list of people being targeted for their beliefs. His deportations should not just be seen as an attack on his family, it is a warning to all of us. But we are not afraid to speak. And we will not be silent. Say his name. Share his story. Demand his release. #FreeMahmoud #DefendDissent #BringThemBack"

A crowded indoor holding facility with individuals sitting on the ground inside a fenced area. The overlay text reads, "THIS IS JUST THE LATEST CHAPTER." The text box below reads "This is the latest chapter in a long history of ICE lawlessness. They have separated families, detained U.S. citizens by mistake, and ignored court orders. Now, they are being used by an authoritarian leader to crush dissent and punish protest." A man in a vest with the label “POLICE ICE” with other men in vests in the background. The overlay text states "THIS ADMINISTRATION IS ESCALATING." The text box below reads "ICE is no longer just an immigration agency. It is a political weapon. Trump’s Secretary of State labeled Mahmoud’s presence a “foreign policy threat.” Not because he broke the law. Because he dared to dissent. This is political persecution. It is not about safety. It is not about borders. It is about silencing the people who dare speak out." A close-up of a group of protesters holding a sign that reads “RELEASE MAHMOUD”. The overlay text states, "FIRST THEY CAME FOR..." The text box below reads "Pro-Palestinian voices are being deliberately labeled as dangerous. Peaceful protest is being smeared as “terrorist sympathy.” And dissent is being framed as a threat to the nation. Here’s the truth: the goalposts are already moving." A protester being carried out by multiple police officers in a crowded setting. The overlay text states, "THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING". The text box below reads "If they can deport Mahmoud for protesting… If they can silence students for chanting… If they can blacklist professors, cancel visas, and fire workers for social media posts… How long before all protest is branded “terrorism”?"
