CNN: Nearly 100 Arrested After Protesters Storm Trump Tower Lobby
EXCERPT:
JIMENEZ: “Yeah, so when we got to the scene, protesters were being let out, hand — essentially zip-tied with their hands behind their backs as they were being led onto buses to then be taken to be processed for charges. Around 100 people were arrested in total, according to police, and they were protesting inside Trump Tower behind me in support of Mahmoud Khalil, who, as you mentioned, a former Columbia University student who helped lead some of the protests that we saw happen in that campus or on that campus over the course of last year. He’s currently being held in ICE detention facility in Louisiana. But when these protesters were actually let out in those zip ties by police after being in there for quite some time, there was actually a pretty good crowd outside here where police had put up barriers to try to keep them at bay.”
