Supporters of detained Columbia student arrested after clash with NYPD as Trump admin seeks his deportation

This is America. We don't throw people in detention centers because of their politics. Doing so betrays our national commitment to freedom of speech,

the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression said in a statement

There is only one solution, intifada revolution,

protesters chanted

The Trump administration and the complicit Columbia University believe if they separate us from this key cornerstone of our community, our movement will begin to crumble,

the protesters shouted

Move cops, get out the way, we know you’re Israeli-trained,

some protesters shouted as police blocked them from entering City Hall Park
