Demonstrators filled the lobby of Trump Tower in New York City to protest the ICE arrest of a Columbia University activist. The protesters, including members of the Jewish Voice for Peace, carried banners and chanted slogans against fascism and in support of Palestinian rights. Police began arresting protesters after warning them to leave. The arrest of the activist, Mahmoud Khalil, has sparked a debate over whether the Trump administration violated his First Amendment rights. Secretary of State Rubio defended the arrest, stating that individuals who engage in activities that go against the purpose of their visa or green card can be denied or revoked.
