Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil has filed a civil rights lawsuit alleging a conspiracy between conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation and pro-Israel groups Canary Mission and Betar to suppress pro-Palestinian activism. The suit claims these groups falsely labeled activists as antisemitic or affiliated with Hamas, leading to their targeting by the government for arrest and deportation. Khalil's legal team argues this public-private partnership violates the Ku Klux Klan Act, a Reconstruction-era law, and seeks damages and an end to the alleged conspiracy. AI
