On Monday night, a pro-Palestinian protest at New York University resulted in the arrest of over 130 individuals, as confirmed by an NYPD official speaking to CNN. While the exact number of arrests is still being determined, the majority of those detained were reportedly arrested for trespassing during the demonstration.
Despite some isolated incidents involving bottles being thrown at police officers, the protests have largely remained non-violent. The clashes primarily involved students, marking a departure from the typical student-government or student-institution confrontations that law enforcement is accustomed to handling.
