Police Arrest Dozens of Pro-Palestinian Protesters at Columbia

At least 80 people have been arrested following pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, the New York Police Department said on Thursday.

On Wednesday, protesters forced their way into Butler Library on the Columbia campus, injuring two security officers in the process. Protesters with the Columbia University Apartheid Divest group said in a statement they would “continue to disrupt Columbia’s profits and legitimacy.” The protesters also were openly defying new guidelines from the Trump administration banning masks on school grounds.

The NYPD said that those “who did not comply with verbal warnings” to disperse were taken into custody on Wednesday with 78 individuals issued an order to appear in court and two were given summonses.
