Almost 100 arrested during protest occupying Trump Tower over Mahmoud Khalil
ai generated text
A group of protesters, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, occupied the lobby of Trump Tower in New York City, demanding the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a student and permanent resident of the United States. Khalil was targeted by the Trump administration for his involvement in pro-Palestine protests, with President Trump threatening to deport him on social media. The protesters, estimated to be around 100, were arrested, while others chanted slogans including "Free Mahmoud, free them all". The demonstration featured signs reading "Jews say stop arming Israel" and "Fight Nazis not students", highlighting the group's stance on Israel and their opposition to Khalil's deportation.
I'm just standing up for my rights, and I'm standing up for Mahmoud Khalil, who has been abducted illegally and taken to an undisclosed location.
We will not stand by as this fascist regime attempts to criminalise Palestinians and all those calling for an end to the Israeli government's US-funded genocide of the Palestinian people. And we will never stop fighting for a free Palestine.
We will not comply – Mahmoud we are in your side[,] 300 Jews and friends in Trump Towers [sic] [because] we know what happens when an autocratic regime starts taking away our rights and scapegoating and we will not be silent[.] COME FOR ONE - FACE US ALL[.]
