“Thompson Skated This Morning” | Lindy Ruff Gave Injury Update On Tage Thompson | Buffalo Sabres

A member of Donald Trump's family laughed and struggled Sunday to think of an example when asked about a time the President was nice to a woman in the family.

Mary Trump, the President's niece and a trained psychologist, did a live Q&A over the weekend in which she was asked various questions from viewers.

One individual asked Mary Trump, "Can you remember a time when he was nice to any woman in your family? His mother, cousins, aunts, etc."

After laughing at the question, Mary Trump says Donald Trump and another family member, his sister Maryanne Trump Barry, both struggled with empathy in part thanks to influences from their father.

"Not really," she answered. "Not in a deep, genuine way."

She went on to say that, while she has no desire to create compassion for him, "Both of them, at one point, did have impulses to be kind, empathetic people, but it was so deformed by my grandfather's abuse, that they just couldn't do it."

"She tried harder and managed on occasion," Mary Trump added. "For Donald, it just completely... it was so weak. That impulse was so weak, and there were so many people including my grandfather fueling the opposite impulses."

She concluded her answer by saying, "It just couldn't last. There's literally no kindness or empathy left in this person at all."

A leader of protests at Columbia University against Israel's war in Gaza was arrested by immigration officers, a campus union said Sunday, after US President Donald Trump vowed to deport foreign pro-Palestinian student demonstrators.

Mahmoud Khalil, one of the most prominent faces in the campus's protest movement that erupted in response to Israel's conduct of the war, was arrested Saturday, the Student Workers of Columbia union said.

"On Saturday, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian recent Columbia graduate and lead negotiator for last spring's Gaza solidarity encampment," the union said in a statement.

US campuses including Columbia's in New York were rocked by student protests against Israel's war in Gaza following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack. The demonstrations ignited accusations of anti-Semitism.

Protests, some of which turned violent and saw campus buildings occupied and lectures disrupted, pitted students protesting Israel's conduct against pro-Israel campaigners, many of whom were Jewish.

Khalil, who remains in immigration enforcement detention, held permanent residency at the time of his arrest prompting thousands of people to sign a petition calling for his release, the union statement added.

"We are also aware of multiple reports of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents accessing or attempting to access Columbia campus buildings on Friday and Saturday, including undergraduate dorms," the union said.

Columbia did not directly address Khalil's arrest in response to inquiries, but in a statement said "there have been reports of ICE in the streets around campus."

"Columbia has and will continue to follow the law. Consistent with our longstanding practice and the practice of cities and institutions throughout the country, law enforcement must have a judicial warrant to enter non-public University areas, including University buildings," Columbia said.

The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment.

Trump railed against the student protest movement linked to the conflict in Gaza, and vowed to deport foreign students who had demonstrated.

He also threatened to cut off federal funding for institutions that he said were not doing enough to combat anti-Semitism.

His administration announced Friday it was cutting $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University, accusing it of failing to protect Jewish students from harassment.
