New York police removed a pro-Palestinian protest encampment at Columbia University on Thursday and arrested dozens of protesters. Several students involved in the protest said they were also suspended from Columbia and Barnard College, including Isra Hirsi, who is the daughter of Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. Police did not immediately identify those taken into custody or say how many arrests were made. They did not say what charges they might face.
School officials made the decision Thursday to call in police and clear out the demonstrators. “The individuals who established the encampment violated a long list of rules and policies,” Shafik wrote. She said the university tried through several channels 'to engage with their concerns and offered to continue discussions if they agreed to disperse.” The school said it was still identifying students involved in the protest Thursday and added that more suspensions would be forthcoming.
