Protests continue at Trump Tower for Mahmoud Khalil

aljazeera.com

Protests at Trump Tower in New York City continue as demonstrators show support for Mahmoud Khalil, a U.S. permanent resident arrested for his involvement in pro-Palestine protests. Khalil faces deportation, which has sparked outrage among civil liberty groups. Ninety-eight protesters were arrested during Thursday's demonstration, where they revealed red T-shirts supporting Khalil. A federal judge has temporarily blocked his deportation, but he remains in detention in Louisiana, with his lawyers seeking to move him to New York. The Trump administration maintains that Khalil's deportation is justified, claiming he poses a threat to national security. Meanwhile, a lawsuit has been filed by Khalil and other students against Columbia University for sharing disciplinary records with the government.
