Nov. 21, 2025 - Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil brought a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Thursday, seeking to compel it to release any communication it had with anti-Palestine organisations in the US and individuals in the run-up to his arrest in March 2025. 

Following Khalil's arrest, several anti-Palestinian groups, including Canary Mission and Betar USA, claimed credit for his detention. Betar said specifically that it shared information on activists critical of Israel with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in 2025.
