FILE - As light rain falls, New York City police officers take people into custody near the Columbia University campus in New York, April 30, 2024.NEW YORK — Police have arrested more than 2,100 people during pro-Palestinian protests at college campuses across the United States in recent weeks, sometimes using riot gear, tactical vehicles and flash-bang devices to clear tent encampments and occupied buildings.
More than 100 people were taken into custody during the Columbia crackdown, just a fraction of the total arrests stemming from recent campus protests over the Israel-Hamas war. A tally by The Associated Press on Thursday found at least 50 incidents of arrests at 40 different U.S. colleges or universities since April 18.
On April 18, the NYPD cleared Columbia's initial encampment and arrested roughly 100 protesters. The demonstrators set up new tents and defied threats of suspension, and escalated their actions early Tuesday by occupying Hamilton Hall, an administration building that was similarly seized in 1968 by students protesting racism and the Vietnam War.
In the following days, administrators tried to find a peaceful solution with members of the encampment and expected things to remain stable, Block said. By Wednesday, the encampment had become “much more of a bunker” and there was no other solution but to have police dismantle it, he said.
