Protests demand release of detained Palestinian activist

Protests are planned in New York City for Monday, demanding the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist arrested by ICE. His attorney claims he was detained despite being a permanent resident with a green card. President Trump stated that Khalil's arrest is the first of many targeting students involved in pro-Palestinian protests. He accused them of anti-American activities but did not provide evidence for these claims. Khalil's attorney is challenging his detention, and his whereabouts remain unclear. The Department of Homeland Security stated his arrest supports Trump's executive orders against anti-Semitism, linking him to Hamas activities.
