Debra Winger protests for detained activist in NYC
Actress Debra Winger joined protests in New York City supporting Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist detained by immigration authorities. Winger expressed her need to "unlearn" lessons from her Jewish upbringing regarding Israel and Zionism. Khalil, an Algerian citizen and Columbia University student, was arrested last weekend. A federal judge has temporarily blocked his deportation. Protests for Khalil are planned in several U.S. cities this weekend.
