Mahmoud Khalil still has not met his newborn baby, because the judge refuses to grant him bail. Having clerked for a federal judge, I know firsthand that public pressure works. Send him a (polite) letter demanding Khalil be set free: Hon. Michael Farbiarz 4th & Cooper Streets Camden, NJ 08101

I don't know what this means, but I'm the one who wrote a fully updated, 624-page hurricane response plan at FEMA that took over 2 years of work and careful coordination among state and federal agencies. He could start by studying that.
