New York Police Department (NYPD) cleared Columbia University's Hamilton Hall, arresting over 100 pro-Palestinian protesters. The operation, lasting two hours, saw protesters pushed outside without any injuries. Columbia University stated the majority involved weren't affiliated with the institution, regretting the escalation. NYPD entered the campus after university authorization and will remain to prevent further encampments. University personnel were threatened during the occupation. The move comes amid ongoing tensions over Palestinian rights and university activism.
