Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., expressed concern over potential police enforcement against anti-Israel protesters, labeling it as an 'escalatory, reckless, and dangerous act.' She condemned such actions, emphasizing the risk they pose to people's lives.
Previously, Ocasio-Cortez characterized anti-Israel protests on college campuses as 'peaceful.' This statement comes in light of Columbia University's president, Minouche Shafik, setting a midnight deadline for protesters involved in the 'Gaza Solidarity Encampment' to reach an agreement or face potential police involvement.
