Pro-Palestinian protesters occupy Trump Tower in New York

Pro-Palestinian protesters from Jewish Voices for Peace occupied Trump Tower in New York on Thursday, demanding the release of activist Mahmoud Khalil. Khalil, a Columbia University student, was arrested by ICE without a warrant, prompting widespread protests. The demonstration involved hundreds of participants wearing red shirts with anti-Israel slogans. They protested for over an hour inside the building, leading to 98 arrests for trespassing and other offenses. Police responded with a significant presence, detaining protesters and using buses for transport. The protest highlighted tensions surrounding Khalil's arrest and the broader issue of U.S. immigration enforcement.
