Protesters on Tuesday took to the streets and marched to the City Hall in Lower Manhattan. Last Friday, the Trump administration canceled $400 million in federal funding for Columbia University in New York City on anti-Semitic grounds. Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia graduate student, was arrested on Saturday in his university dormitory by staff members from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Khalil’s wife, a US citizen who is eight months pregnant, also received threats from the ICE, according to Khalil’s attorney. These moves by the Trump Administration have sparked a new wave of pro-Palestine protests in New New York. The New York Police Department (NYPD), 12 people were arrested as participants of the march reached City Hall. The march was held to protest the arrest of Khalil by ICE staff members in his dormitory on Saturday. The hearing against Khalil is scheduled for Wednesday, and he could face deportation. The protest was held in response to the arrest on Saturday of a Columbia University graduate student who was instrumental in the pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University that began in April 2024. The University has been involved in this mess for a long time. It’s time to stop,\” said Katherine Wilson, an adjunct professor at two universities in New. York.
