Police have arrested dozens of demonstrators from a Jewish group who filled the lobby of Trump Tower to denounce the immigration arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist who helped lead protests against Israel at Columbia University.

Police, staged inside and outside the Fifth Avenue building before the demonstration, warned protesters to leave or face arrest.

Demonstrators led by a progressive Jewish group gathered to support Mahmoud Khalil, the Palestinian activist whom the Trump administration wants to deport.
