Protesters demand Mahmoud Khalil's release at Trump Tower

Protesters gathered at Trump Tower in New York, demanding the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia activist arrested for immigration violations. The demonstration was organized by the Jewish Voice for Peace, who chanted for Khalil's return. Police warned protesters to leave and arrested at least 65 individuals after an hour. Khalil, a permanent U.S. resident, faces deportation despite not being charged with any crimes. Khalil's supporters argue his arrest threatens free speech. He is currently detained in Louisiana, and protests have occurred nationwide in response to his situation.
