Jewish protesters demand release of Columbia University activist

Jewish protesters gathered in the lobby of Trump Tower to demand the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University activist arrested for immigration violations. Police began arresting demonstrators after issuing warnings to leave the building. Khalil, a permanent U.S. resident, was taken into custody outside his apartment and faces deportation. His supporters argue that his arrest is an infringement on free speech, prompting protests across the country. The demonstration featured banners and chants against U.S. support for Israel. Actor Debra Winger participated, criticizing the Trump administration's stance on Jewish safety and Khalil's detention.
