Thousands of New Yorkers rallied in Lower Manhattan to protest the ICE detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, a legitimate green card holder and student leader involved in pro-Palestine advocacy. His arrest sparked outrage and accusations of unlawful violation of rights, with demonstrators fearing broader implications of deportations under the current administration. The protest ended with conflicts with police, highlighting tensions surrounding immigration enforcement and civil liberties. Activists emphasized that this action is part of a larger struggle for rights and justice, resonating with a global movement supporting Palestine.
They demanded the release of the green card-carrying Colombia student the White House said it wants to deport, calling this an unlawful violation of civil rights.
Mahmoud is part of the historic movement for Palestine, and one protester claimed, 'This is a movement for life.' Protesters vowed to continue fighting against ICE's tactics.
According to an AP report, ICE agents barged into Khalil's university apartment, leading to fierce protests, with demonstrators asserting their commitment to civil rights.
The White House pledged that Mahmoud Khalil would be the first of many deportations, inciting massive protests across the country in defense of immigrant rights.
