Columbia University protesters wrote on X that ‘We will not leave until our demand is met’
Several Columbia University students have chained themselves to a gate to protest Mahmoud Khalil’s detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The students began protesting outside Columbia University’s St. Paul’s Chapel on Wednesday afternoon, demanding that the institution release the names of the trustees “who gave Mahmoud Khalil’s name to ICE.” The Columbia Palestine Solidarity Committee wrote on X that “We will not leave until our demand is met.”
“FREE MAHMOUD KHALIL. NAME THE TRUSTEE. Jewish students will not leave. They will remain chained to the campus gates until @Columbia University is held accountable. WHO REPORTED MAHMOUD TO ICE?” the group wrote on X.
Shouldn’t that make them easier to round up?
Why do you want to round up students exercising their 1st Amendment Rights? This isn’t the USSR, Karen.
Chaining yourself to property that is not your own and making demands of the property owner and the gubmint does not constitute peacefulness in my opinion which I am also entitled to.
Leave them there and take away their keys to unlock themselves and make them stay right there till they drop over from starvation. Would serve them right.
Next time choose the electric fence.
