NBC News reports:

A sit-in at Trump Tower in Manhattan was underway Thursday as protesters gathered to demand the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist detained over the weekend by federal immigration agents. The organization Jewish Voice for Peace livestreamed the sit-in, showing hundreds of demonstrators packed into the building’s lobby. Some held signs that read “Fight Nazis not students,” “Free Mahmoud free Palestine,” and “You can’t deport a movement.”

Many people could be heard chanting “Free Mahmoud.” There was a heavy police presence in front of the building. About two to three dozen protesters could be seen, handcuffed in white zip ties, being escorted into police vehicles and empty city buses. The protesters shouted, “Free Palestine” and “Free Mahmoud” as they were being walked out of the building. They were wearing red T-shirts that said, “Stop arming Israel” and “Not in our name.”
