Green card holder arrested for pro-Palestinian protest

Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder, was arrested by federal immigration agents for his participation in pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University. He is currently detained in Louisiana, marking a significant action by the Trump administration against activists. Mayor Adams responded to questions about Khalil's arrest with a confusing remark about guns, which he later clarified was not directed at Khalil. His spokesperson stated that Adams may not have fully understood the question during the press conference. Khalil's arrest has sparked widespread protests, with demonstrators gathering outside the ICE office in New York City to demand his release. This incident highlights growing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement and political activism.
