If you are pro-Israel OR palestine, you should be on the protestors’ side. NOBODY should get arrested, deported or any legal ramifications for organizing peacefully, or exercising the first amendment.
A sit-in at New York City’s Trump Tower is underway as protesters gathered to demand the [release of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist detained over the weekend by federal immigration agents](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/protesters-demand-release-palestinian-activist-mahmoud-khalil-judge-bl-rcna195786).
The organization Jewish Voice for Peace livestreamed the Thursday sit-in, showing hundreds of demonstrators packed into the building’s lobby. Some held signs that read “Fight Nazis not students,” “Free Mahmoud free Palestine,” and “You can’t deport a movement.”
Many people could be heard chanting “Free Mahmoud.” [https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/protesters-take-trump-tower-nyc-demand-release-mahmoud-khalil-rcna196265](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/protesters-take-trump-tower-nyc-demand-release-mahmoud-khalil-rcna196265)
so funny that this guy’s idea of branding is just to put his shitty last name on it. he’s such a turd.
I can’t wait for Trump to scream about this and the inevitable crackdowns on free speech. Like it’s so blatantly obvious this administration doesn’t care. Good for the protesters for standing up though.
More cops there than Jan. 6 that’s for sure
Like other’s are saying.
Agree with Khalil or not, he didn’t break any laws. We should all not be okay with this.
Also nice seeing people protesting Trump’s business. Just like with Tesla, it gives another way for protesting to impact them.
Lot harder to ignore when it causes business to drop.
# The government is staking its entire case to deport Khalil on whether Rubio “personally” thinks the Columbia student protest negotiator would “compromise” US foreign policy.
The government is staking its entire case to deport Khalil on whether Rubio “personally” thinks the Columbia student protest negotiator would “compromise” US foreign policy.
The authority, a provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), reads: “An alien whose presence or activities in the United States the Secretary of State has reasonable ground to believe would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States is deportable.”
The State Department has not publicly disclosed the specific evidence on which it based its decision to order the arrest of Khalil, who is a green card holder.

Looks like more than the “dozens” being reported.
TIL there’s a Trump Grill. Holy shit it looks like it’s just McDonalds being sold on ceramic dinnerware.
Jewish Voice for Peace is an organization that gives me a lot of hope for the world.
Jewish and Palestinian security and prosperity is intertwined, as it has been for centuries, and I’m glad JVfP is showing the world what true solidarity looks like.
we love to see it
Fight Trump!!
Bloody hell, that’s fantastic. Let this be the floodgate that all of us who oppose not just this god awful unlawful detention but the fascism quickly dismantling our government. Something needs to be the tipping point to unite use, let it be this. I love our protestors across the country but we really to next level it. Ready for the show of force as allies, to gather and protest, to use our shared outrage, to use our powerful numbers, and to unite over our shared rejection and rage at this fascism. Legacy media ignoring us in national coverage? Guess who we target next for protests. Make it so they can NOT ignore us. I’m ready yesterday for friends and allies to show up, arms linked.
Looks like a ‘day of love” to me and he better not say any different. Not even any bear spray, zip ties, gallows, or police getting brutalized.
Why aren’t there similar protests to get rid of Trump?
Good
How long before they all disappear?
Love those two at the front just having their coffee
How long until he spins this as soon sort of hostile aggression so he can implement whatever bs he’s thinking of?
This is what Americans wanted when they voted for a felon.
This is terrific, pointed, non-violent demonstration.
**THIS!**
**Finally.**
You are peering into the past looking at Nazi Germany in 1933
Fight the power ✊
Damn right!
NOW we are talking.
Trump will probably have them all deported.
Hell yeah.
Free palestine.
I assume all these people will go to prison as domestic terrorist.
Of course they can get all charges dropped at the Supreme Court seeing how we let people openly storm the captiol, cause damage, disrespect democracy, and threaten our law makers.
But yeah these people should be behind bars!
Obvious /s
TeRrOrIsTs! ThE loT oF ‘eM!!
