A Palestinian activist who led a coalition of twisted radicals seeking the “total eradication of Western civilization” responsible for riotous protests at Columbia University and Barnard College has been arrested by ICE agents, according to his lawyer.

Columbia University Apartheid Divest leader Mahmoud Khalil, who completed his graduate studies at Columbia in December, also potentially faces having his visa revoked and his green card canceled following Trump’s crackdown on unrest at colleges, attorney Amy Greer said Sunday.

He was inside his university-owned apartment a few blocks from the Ivy League campus Saturday night when ICE agents entered and took him into custody, Greer said.

Despite graduating months ago, Khalil, who earned his undergraduate degree in Beirut, still lived in school-provided housing due to a policy allowing students to remain on campus after graduating, a source told The Post.
