Liberation Seder: Hundreds of Jewish Protesters Demand Release of Foreign Students Abducted by ICE
Hundreds of members of Jewish Voice for Peace in New York protested outside of the office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Monday on the third night of the major Jewish holiday Passover. They gathered in support of a growing number of immigrant activists who have been taken prisoner by ICE, including New York residents Mahmoud Khalil and Mohsen Mahdawi, both Palestinian participants of pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University last year. *Democracy Now!* spoke to some of the Passover Seder attendees. “I’ve always thought of Passover as a celebration of liberation. And liberation can never be just the Jews,” said protester Marianne Pita. “The only way to fight for liberation is to fight for everybody.”
