A demonstration took place in Times Square to support Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia graduate student facing deportation for his anti-Israel activism. Protesters, including notable figure Linda Sarsour, rallied against the decision, emphasizing the implications for free speech. Khalil's legal team criticized the deportation order, highlighting inconsistencies in protecting free speech rights in the U.S. The Trump administration's case relied on a letter from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, suggesting Khalil posed a national security risk. The incident raises broader questions about the intersection of immigration enforcement and political expression.
