Jewish Activists In New York Rally In Support Of Detained Columbia Graduate

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MARCH 20: Activists hold a demonstration in lower Manhattan against the arrest by ICE of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, a graduate student at Columbia University, on March 20, 2025 in New York City. Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist and recent graduate of Columbia University, was arrested by immigration officers in New York and sent to a detention center in Louisiana. Many of the activists are members of Jewish groups opposed to the war in Gaza and the Trump administration. A judge ruled Wednesday that Khalil has the right to challenge the legality of his detention, but the case should be heard in New Jersey, not in New York or Louisiana.
