Nearly 100 people were arrested at Trump Tower in Manhattan during a protest against the detention of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil. Khalil, a Columbia University student, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for his involvement in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. The protest, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, featured chants like "Free Mahmoud Khalil" and banners with messages such as "Never Again for Anyone." The New York Police Department reported that 98 demonstrators were arrested, with no injuries or property damage reported. This protest occurred shortly after Khalil's green card was revoked by the Trump administration. Trump commented on social media, stating that those who support terrorism are not welcome in the U.S.
