Protesters in custody after Columbia calls in police to end pro-Palestinian occupation
SUMMARY: Late on Tuesday, police arrested protesters after Columbia University requested their assistance in ending a pro-Palestinian occupation on campus. The police, equipped with helmets and riot gear, cleared out Hamilton Hall, a building that had been occupied by demonstrators for more than 12 hours. The decision to involve law enforcement came after protesters vandalized and blockaded the building, forcing campus security out. The nationwide campus protests started in response to Israel's offensive in Gaza, with tensions rising as administrators face pressure to clear protesters before commencement ceremonies. Despite negotiations and compromises at other universities, the protests continue amid accusations of antisemitism and calls for divestment.
