Palestinian rights activist Mahmoud Khalil and his supporters rally in NYC after release – video

Freed from Ice detention days earlier, Palestinian rights activist Mahmoud Khalil stood just outside the gates of Columbia University to renew his commitment to the cause of Palestinian freedom and opposition to both the university and the Trump administration. During a speech to the crowd, Khalil took aim at the 'shameful board of trustees at Colombia University', adding that they were 'attempting to expel 15 more students and to suspend tens of others, basically stealing their future, their degrees, their labor, merely because these students are not afraid'
