Demonstrators in Manhattan, New York City condemned the Trump administration for the arrest and planned deportation of Mahmoud Khalil. Khalil, a recent Columbia University graduate, was one of the leading demonstrators during last year’s pro-Palestine protests at the university.

The Trump administration issued Khalil a notice to appear for an immigration court hearing on March 27 regarding his deportation.
