US federal immigration agents have detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian student activist who helped lead last year's protests at Columbia University demanding a ceasefire in Gaza. President Trump said this would be the first arrest of many to come.

Hundreds marched on the streets of New York City this week, protesting the arrest of student-activist Mahmoud Khalil. Khalil was a key figure in Columbia University's pro-Palestinian protests in the spring of 2024. The arrest was part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on anti-Israel protesters.
