Trump Arrests Palestine Campus Organizer, But Millions Say, “No Way”

Trump Arrests Palestine Campus Organizer, But Millions Say, “No Way”

On this special episode, Brian and Layan discuss the targeting of Palestinian organizer at Columbia University Mahmoud Khalil, who was illegally dragged from his campus housing by Department of Homeland Security officers and taken to an ICE detention facility as the Trump administration prepares to deport him. This is part of a nationwide effort to suppress the Palestinian solidarity movement on college campuses but the Trump administration’s target will impact all sectors of society.
