ABC NEWS LIVE ‘PRIME’ ANCHOR LINSEY DAVIS HAS FIRST BROADCAST INTERVIEW WITH MAHMOUD KHALIL SINCE HIS RELEASE FROM CUSTODY ON MONDAY, JUNE 23

ABC News Live “Prime” anchor Linsey Davis has the first broadcast interview with Mahmoud Khalil since being released from custody in Louisiana. Davis asks Khalil about his more than 100 days in immigration detention, what it was like to reunite with his wife and son, and what message he has for President Trump. The interview will air and stream across ABC News programs and platforms, including a first look on “World News Tonight” Sunday, “Good Morning America” on Monday, June 23, followed by the in-depth interview airing Monday in “Prime,” the Emmy® Award-nominated streaming primetime show, at 7:00 p.m. EDT.

Khalil, a legal U.S. resident, was detained on March 8 at his apartment building in Manhattan over his participation in pro-Palestinian demonstrations, including those at Columbia University. His was the first high profile arrest under President Donald Trump’s crackdown on international students who joined campus protests against the war in Gaza.

Tune in Monday, June 23, for the full interview at 7:00 p.m. EDT on ABC News Live, America’s No. 1 streaming news channel.
