Protesters demand freedom for detained activist in NYC
Protesters entered Trump Tower in New York City on Thursday, chanting "Free Mahmoud." This refers to Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement over the weekend. The group, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, included hundreds of participants wearing red shirts and carrying banners. Some protesters were seen being taken into police custody, but there has been no official confirmation of arrests. Khalil, a graduate student at Columbia University, was arrested during a demonstration and is now facing deportation proceedings in Louisiana.
