#Jewish protesters flood #TrumpTower's lobby to demand the #ColumbiaUniversity #activist's release

by Cedar Attanasio, AP, 3/13/2025

New York — "Demonstrators from a Jewish group filled the lobby of #TrumpTower on Thursday to denounce the immigration arrest of #MahmoudKhalil, a #ProPalestinian activist who helped lead protests against #Israel at Columbia University.

"The demonstrators from Jewish Voice for Peace wore red shirts reading 'Jews say stop arming Israel' and held up banners as they chanted 'Bring Mahmoud home now!' on the lower level of the Fifth Avenue building's public atrium.

"After warning the protesters to leave, police said they arrested 98 people who stayed on various charges, including trespassing, obstruction and resisting arrest.

"Khalil, a 30-year-old permanent U.S. resident who is married to an American citizen and who hasn't been charged with breaking any laws, was arrested outside his New York City apartment Saturday and faces deportation. He's being held at an immigration detention center in Louisiana."

The Students Walk Out in #LosAngeles
A Report from the Streets

#CrimethInc, 2025-02-13

"In the opening weeks of Donald #Trump’s second presidency, some of the fiercest expressions of defiance have come from the communities that Trump is threatening to attack. In Los Angeles, students have engaged in weeks of walkouts and other protests against the mass deportations Trump promised. In #Cincinnati, the historically Black community #LincolnHeights responded to a #NeoNazi rally by chasing off the #WhiteSupremacists, burning their #swastika flags, and conducting an armed watch lest they attempt to return.

"Both of these communities draw on deep roots of resistance. The students in Los Angeles are walking out in the footsteps of previous student rebels, including those who participated in the historic protests of 2006 against the repression of the undocumented. People in Cincinnati rose in rebellion in 2001 against police violence, foreshadowing the movement that got underway in response to the murder of Oscar Grant in 2008 and arrived on the world stage in 2014 with the uprising in #Ferguson. In continuing these legacies, today’s protesters show how difficult it will be for Donald Trump, #ElonMusk, and other #racist #billionaires to control the population of this continent. They also point the way for others who are still trying to figure out how to defend themselves against the new regime.

"Here, participants in this month’s demonstrations in Los Angeles offer a short report from the streets."
