About a dozen protesters demonstrating in support of former Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil were arrested on Tuesday as they clashed with New York City Police.
Immigration enforcement agents arrested Khalil, a permanent U.S. resident,
in New York on Saturday, and he has been moved to an immigration detention center in Louisiana as the Trump administration seeks to revoke his legal status and deport him for his involvement last year in anti-Israel
protests on campus.
The White House said Tuesday that Khalil distributed pro-Hamas flyers on campus.
"This is an individual who organized group protests that not only
disrupted college campus classes and harassed Jewish American students and made them feel unsafe on their own college campus, but also distributed pro-Hamas propaganda flyers with the logo of Hamas," White House
spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said.
U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman has ordered that Khalil, whose American
wife is eight months pregnant, not be deported while the court considers
the legal challenge brought by his lawyers, who argue the government is unlawfully retaliating against him for constitutionally protected speech.
His lawyers want him brought back to New York and released under
supervision.
On Tuesday, the NYPD made arrests after several protesters blocked a
downtown street in Manhattan, even after warnings to clear the roadway, according to the New York Post.
