Hundreds of students and pro-Palestine activists protest across New York City demanding the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian student activist and recent Columbia graduate, on March 11, 2025 in the borough of Manhattan. Khalil, a green card holder and married to a U.S. citizen, was taken from his home by agents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on the night of March 8, 2025, but has since received a reprieve from deportation. A federal judge in New York blocked the Trump administration's efforts to deport him until a conference on Wednesday. (Photo by Michael Nigro)
