New York City Mayor Eric Adams said on Wednesday that "outside agitators" involved in the pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University are attempting "to radicalize young people" across the country.
"There were those who came to the city to disrupt our city," Adams said, adding that NYPD Intelligence and Counterterrorism Deputy Commissioner Rebecca Weiner found following an investigation that "outside agitators" are helping organize the protests at Columbia.
He said that an intelligence division confirmed that one "individual's husband was arrested for and convicted for terrorism on a federal level."The mayor added, "Once we were able to identify some of the other people, I knew that there was no way I was going to allow those children to be exploited the way they were being exploited."
