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.
A spokesperson for Columbia University told Fox News Digital that the individuals chained to the gate on campus were removed by the institution’s public safety officers after around two hours.
