Portland protests planned for Mahmoud Khalil's support

A protest supporting Mahmoud Khalil is scheduled for Thursday evening at the South Park Blocks near Portland State University. Khalil, a Columbia University student, was arrested by federal agents while returning home. Khalil and seven other students have filed a lawsuit against Columbia and Congress for sharing disciplinary records with the federal government. This follows increased scrutiny of universities by the Trump administration. On the same day, a Jewish group protested at Trump Tower against Khalil's arrest, leading to 98 arrests for various charges. The protests highlight ongoing tensions surrounding campus activism and immigration issues.
