Nearly 100 people were arrested at Trump Tower during a protest against the detention of Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil by ICE. The demonstrators, many affiliated with Jewish Voice for Peace, faced charges including trespassing and resisting arrest. The protest followed Khalil's arrest for his involvement in anti-Israel demonstrations. His green card was revoked, and he is currently held in an immigration detention center in Louisiana. The Trump administration has accused him of inciting violence. Columbia University is now facing a federal lawsuit for allegedly disclosing student records at Congress's request. Advocacy groups claim this violates student privacy and challenges the university's cooperation with government investigations into antisemitism on campuses.
