Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil is suing Columbia University, alleging it failed to address harassment against him and other members of a pro-Palestinian campus group. The suit filed Monday in federal court in New York City says the university's deliberate indifference led to the doxing of multiple group members and Khalil’s detention by immigration agents. The university said it is committed to protecting the campus community from discrimination and harassment but declined to comment on the lawsuit. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested Khalil in March 2025. He quickly became the face of the Trump administration's crackdown on pro-Palestinian demonstrators.

The Trump administration is proposing a dramatic overhaul around the once-a-decade U.S. Census head count that could leave out millions of immigrants based on status and key racial and ethnic data, jeopardizing the allocation of resources and the country’s voting map. The Census Bureau announced Wednesday potential changes would exclude immigrants who are in the country without legal permission and anyone without permanent status and make the survey more “color blind." Numbers from the questionnaire are typically used to determine congressional districts and Electoral College votes. Racial and ethnic data has been used to look at issues in communities of color such as discrimination, wealth gaps and crime rates.
The Trump administration is proposing a rule that would strip private schools and colleges of their tax-exempt status if they provide targeted help to students based on their race. The proposal amounts to a significant escalation in the White House’s campaign to eradicate diversity programs directed at Black, Hispanic and other minority students. The Treasury Department proposed the change Thursday in a regulation that is broadly aimed at ending any measures that help students because of their race. It specifically says such benefits in admissions, scholarships and facilities “would be incompatible” with the rule. It’s the latest White House attempt to weed out diversity, equity and inclusion policies.

A Ukrainian migrant in Poland has faced online hate despite her efforts to help others. Nastya Podorozhnya founded a support group called Martynka for Ukrainian women escaping violence. The shelter in Krakow has helped more than 100 women and children. Polish volunteers initially welcomed refugees. But anti-Ukrainian sentiment has grown. Many Ukrainians have reported discrimination as support wanes. Martynka struggles with funding as international aid declines. Podorozhnya has emphasized the importance of helping vulnerable refugees. She warns that without support, they could face homelessness or substance abuse. She believes Martynka is fulfilling a role the Polish state should address.
