On Tuesday, the New York Police Department officers made approximately 230 arrests at Columbia University and City College of New York. The arrests followed a situation where police in riot gear entered a building on the Columbia University campus to remove pro-Palestinian protesters who had barricaded themselves inside.
Law enforcement sources have confirmed that the officers successfully cleared the property at Columbia University after breaching the building. Additionally, there were reports of dozens of more arrests made a few blocks north at the City College of New York.
