More than 300 Palestinian American constituents descended on the US Capitol on Tuesday, meeting with the offices of over 100 lawmakers to demand a shift in US policy on Gaza. The day of advocacy, organised by AJP Action (Americans for Justice in Palestine Action), came as the Trump administration reportedly approved a $2.8bn military package for Israel that includes thousands of 907kg MK-84 bombs, munitions already linked to mass civilian casualties in Gaza, where nearly 74,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023. Participants also pressed lawmakers to reform immigration statutes that the administration has used to pursue deportation proceedings against pro-Palestinian advocates, with several detainees speaking at the Capitol about their experiences in ICE custody.
