The New York City Police Department recently released footage from a raid on Hamilton Hall, which had been occupied by anti-Israel protesters. The video shows officers entering through an upper window and clearing rooms of students. Subsequently, police are seen dismantling encampments elsewhere on the University of Columbia's campus.
The footage concludes with officers raising the American flag over the campus lawn, as protesters had previously replaced it with a Palestinian flag. The NYPD reported approximately 300 arrests made during the overnight operation. Despite the removal of encampments, protests persist at Columbia University and numerous other colleges nationwide.
