With ICE serving at Trump’s personal Gestapo to round up pro-Palestine students, the protest for Gaza held in DC alongside the 50501 protests marched directly on ICE’s headquarters.

On the 29th of March, protesters showed up at the infamous Kamp Krome concentration camp in Miami, FL. The various stormtroopers protecting this hellhole were apparently very displeased to see protesters. They even brought out an armored vehicle but protesters stood their ground. Although these armored vehicles are widely referred to as tanks, this is an MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle) rather than a tank.

Kamp Krome is an ICE detention facility packed to over 4,000 people in a capacity rated for a few hundred. At least three people have died at Kamp Krome, food and even WATER are scarce for detainees there.

On the 12th of March, protesters supporting Khalil Mahmoud assembled at 50th and Fowler, them marched to the main entrance of University of S Florida (USF). USF infamously sicced the cops on a pro-Palestine encampment in April 2024.

There were protests presumably all over the US for Khalil on March 12. At Columbia where Khalil was a graduate student Jewish students held a large protest denouncing Trump and ICE for the lawless “arrest” of Mahmoud. The protest at USF’s gates was part of this day of action.

USF like Columbia U has an infamous record of violently attacking pro-Palestine protests, and of attempting to have pro-Palestine organizers deported after “suspension” or expulsion. Both universities first sicced the cops on student activists, then sicced ICE on them.

Khalil Mahmoud’s court hearing did not go wel: the judge while not authorizing immediate deportation allowed ICE to continue holding him, more hearings are scheduled. Trump is beating his chest about this case and warning of more “arrests.” One attempt again at Columbia has already been defeated however: ICE agents tried again to enter student housing but were blocked from entering. It is doubtful they will ever get in again short of battering rams and battle.

On the 11th of March, protesters in front of Orlando’s Federal building
demanded that Trump release Khalil Mamhoud and cancel plans to round up and deport pro-Palestine students. Protesters warned “You are not safe if Mahmoud isn’t safe.”
