Following the news that Columbia University student and pro-Palestine protester Mahmoud Khalil will remain in ICE custody, pro-Palestinian protesters took to Trump Tower to voice their support for Khalil, resulting in about a hundred arrests.
On March 13, protesters occupied the lobby of Trump Tower, located at 725 5th Ave. in Midtown, to call for the release of Khalil, who was detained by ICE last weekend. Khalil was taken into custody despite being a legal U.S. permanent resident with a valid green card and not having broken any actual laws.
