Protesters gathered in Washington near the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) headquarters.

The demonstrators held signs with slogans such as "Free Palestine," "Free Mahmoud Khalil," and "ICE out of our campuses."

Khalil was recently arrested by U.S. authorities under the pretext that he led protests at Columbia University last year condemning the genocide perpetrated by Israel in Gaza.

They chanted slogans like, "We want justice, you ask how it will be achieved, free Mahmoud Khalil now" and "Free all students."

In New York, hundreds also marched from Times Square to Columbus Circle in protest against Khalil's detention.

One protester stated that the attacks on Mahmoud Khalil are not just attacks on one person, but on everyone who dares to demand and support justice.

Protesters, carrying Palestinian flags and signs reading "Free Mahmoud Khalil," emphasized that the Palestinian activist's right to protest is protected by law.

Last Sunday, U.S. authorities arrested Khalil, the Palestinian student who led solidarity protests at Columbia University last year condemning Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
