This op-ed responds to universities like Columbia, UT Austin, UCLA, Emory, and more sending police into student protest encampments.

I keep having this problem when I go somewhere to interview sources and by the time I get there, they’ve been arrested. Maybe your scrolling on social media can back that up. The numbers certainly do: According to journalists at the Appeal, at least 2,500 people have been arrested at campus Palestine protests in the last month.

All this, a decade after NYPD sent an undercover cop into a student club at Brooklyn College to surveil Muslim students.
