Jewish protesters stormed Trump Tower in New York demanding the release of pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, who was arrested by immigration officials. At least 150 people demonstrated in the building's lobby, with 98 arrests made. Khalil, a postgraduate student at Columbia University, has been a prominent figure in the university's pro-Palestinian student protest movement. His deportation has been put on hold while his lawyers challenge his detention. Trump's administration has accused pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, including at Columbia, of supporting Hamas and engaging in antisemitic harassment.
