Nearly 100 pro-Palestine protesters arrested in New York
Nearly 100 pro-Palestine protesters were arrested at Trump Tower in New York City. The demonstration was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, advocating for Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University activist facing deportation after his arrest. Protesters chanted slogans and displayed banners, calling for Khalil's release. The New York Police Department arrested 98 individuals for charges including trespassing and resisting arrest after they refused to leave the building. Khalil, a permanent U.S. resident, was detained without charges. His supporters argue that his arrest infringes on free speech rights, prompting protests across the country.
