Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and permanent U.S. resident facing deportation, ignited nationwide protests after his arrest in New York City. Supporters, including Jewish Voice for Peace, organized rallies at Trump Tower and outside the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, emphasizing resistance against perceived authoritarianism and discrimination under the current administration. Khalil's situation raised awareness about the vulnerabilities faced by immigrant communities. His wife, Noor Abdalla, reflected on misjudgments regarding Khalil's deportation risk, revealing the human cost of immigration enforcement policy. Protests continue nationwide, amplifying calls for justice and community solidarity.
On Monday, thousands marched in New York City, demanding Khalil's release. In addition to the ongoing protests in New York, marches and university walk-outs have been organized around the country.
We are here at Trump Tower to register our mass refusal to Trump's authoritarian agenda intent on villainizing Palestinians, immigrants, trans people, and all those who dare to speak up.
