Nearly 100 people were arrested tonight at Columbia University as NYPD officers cleared Hamilton Hall, which had been taken over, and a tent encampment that students established to protest the war in Gaza.
"These kids who are out of control like this need to be dealt with like the common criminals that they are," Johnson, R-La., told Fox News' Sean Hannity.alongside a video that appeared to show police entering the campus."You cannot expect to break the law and campus rules without repercussions. Accountability is here."
All other floors have been cleared, and police said they found overturned soda machines, couches, chairs and other barricades. Barnard is independent, but it’s also an official college of Columbia, and they neighbor each other in Manhattan. Fifty-six years ago, Columbia students furious over the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War and the school’s plans to build a segregated gym in nearby Morningside Park decided to, an academic building on the main campus. Overnight, pro-Palestinian demonstrators stormed and occupied the same building, with some drawing direct parallels between their activism and the legacy of 1968.
Columbia’s commencement is scheduled for May 15. An estimated 15,000 students are set to graduate, the university has said.A person hid inside Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall yesterday to later let protesters in to take over the building, Columbia’s president said in a letter to the NYPD asking for assistance.
“The individuals who have occupied Hamilton Hall have vandalized University property and are trespassing,” she said in the letter.Police officers in riot gear were leading protesters, whose hands seemed to be tied behind their backs with zip ties, away from the building.“We regret that protesters have chosen to escalate the situation through their actions.
Students were told to avoid the area, according to the alert, which was obtained by NBC New York. It says disciplinary action may result if people don’t comply. Police blamed outside groups for a dangerous change in tactics. Protesters with hammers broke into Hamilton Hall and barricaded it early this morning.
“Faculty have tried all day to get involved in this and resolve the situation," Howley said."We have been shut out.”The NYPD’s deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism says the concern with the outside group at Columbia is that it is using and teaching the types of tactics that will make it difficult for police to enter buildings and that it appears the group is “preparing for a fight” if police do enter.
“They are actively creating serious public safety issues,” the mayor said. “Maybe some of the students don’t understand what they are involved in.” Some of the external actors are known to police, said Rebecca Weiner, deputy commissioner for intelligence and counterterrorism, and others are seen in clear “black bloc” attire.
Only residents of the Morningside Heights dorms as well as essential staff have access to the Morningside Heights campus.Student protesters at Brown University agreed to end their encampment today after assurances that they will be permitted to present their case on divestment to the school's trustees in the fall, university officials said.
In the backdrop of the somewhat unconventional move-out, student protesters inside the gate gathered to chant with demonstrators who gathered on the sidewalk in solidarity.New York City officials are planning a news conference scheduled for 6 p.m. tonight to address the Columbia University protests.
Addressing concerns that the protests at Columbia have been labeled antisemitic, Grosso said it's important to recognize the difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. As they stood at the gate, they clapped and shouted,"When Gaza is under attack, what do we do? Stand up fight back."Leaders of the student groups behind the Columbia University encampment — CUAD, SJP and JVP — said they were not given a heads-up about this morning's takeover of Hamilton Hall and described those behind the building break-in as an “autonomous” group.
Dozens of protesters took over the building early this morning. The university has threatened to expel students who remain inside.A student protest organizer said that since last night, Columbia University has targeted at least three Palestinian students for suspension, allegedly"regardless of their involvement" in the encampment protest — including one involved in Columbia University Apartheid Divest negotiations.
“Forcibly taking over buildings is not peaceful — it is wrong. And hate speech and hate symbols have no place in America,” Bates added. One video showed protesters form a human chain around an individual to prevent them from entering Hamilton Hall. There were acts of criminal mischief in and around the building, but Columbia did not want the NYPD to enter and make arrests or charge any individuals for that mischief, which included vandalism, the spokesperson said.
It comes after the school on Friday shared guidelines with protest organizers that such protests are permitted but"safety, health, and basic community standards need to be recognized and maintained, both in the interest of those who are gathering as well as other community members who may be impacted.
Earlier, a university spokesman told protesters they would not be treated like children and that the university is"not a daycare."to the school’s president, Minouche Shafik, yesterday demanding the removal of “illegal encampments” and to “immediately restore safety for all students.”The letter pointed out how over the past week, suspended students defied decrees by returning to the encampment and students allegedly tried to intimidate a Jewish student in a “zionist free zone.
Police were seen removing tents and protesters from an encampment at the University of North Carolina's Chapel Hill from 6 a.m. this morning, according to footage shot by NBC affiliateWRAL reporters saw people with their hands zip-tied being led away and placed in police vehicles. The school said Monday that anyone camping within view of the administration building faced arrest.
In a statement outlining their demands, demonstrators said the building's takeover represented the"next generation of the 1968, 1985 and 1992 student movements which Columbia once repressed, yet celebrates today."On its website, Columbia notes how New York City police stormed the campus back in 1968, arresting more than 700 people in an event that"dogged Columbia for years.
Some students have also been suspended, the university said in a statement early today, while some campus buildings will be shut today and classes held remotely. The university said freedom of speech was"foundational to our society and a bedrock tenet of universities," but said it would not tolerate criminal behavior.TEL AVIV — Israel is waiting for Hamas to provide its response to the current cease-fire proposal before sending its own negotiators to Cairo, an Israeli official told NBC News this morning.
There were two Palestinian intifadas — in 1987, and between 2000 and 2005 — which saw widespread civil disobedience and violence that was met with a strong Israeli military response.But the phrase has since become part of the lexicon of pro-Palestinian protesters across the world, sometimes written or chanted as"Globalize the Intifada."
