MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS, Manhattan (WABC) -- Columbia University may be close to a deal with the Trump Administration to restore its Federal funding. Sources say the deal would help the school regain access to more than $400 million in Federal funding. The Trump Administration pulled that money over anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian protests on campus.

Mahmoud Khalil, the pro-Palestinian activist who was detained by ICE​, sat down with CBS News New York's Dick Brennan for an interview.

His complaint alleges he was falsely imprisoned, maliciously prosecuted and smeared as an anti-Semite. He said he either wants $20 million or an apology from the administration.

The lawsuit, filed by several university associations, is one of the first against President Trump and members of his administration to go to trial.

Amid the ongoing political row with the Trump administration, Columbia University has suffered a sophisticated cyber attack by a politically motivated hacktivist who copied student data.

A hacker has a list of millions of people by race. So why is the coverage about Zohran Mamdani?

The Department of Homeland Security issued administrative subpoenas seeking data about the university’s international students, while two federal agencies challenged Harvard’s accreditation.
