Arrests at Pro-Palestinian Protests in New York City

Nearly half of the 282 people arrested at pro-Palestinian protests on two New York City campuses are not students, according to officials. Police were sent to Columbia University and City College of New York where protesters were arrested. City officials have not released further identifying information about the arrested individuals.

NYPD officers removed a Palestinian flag at City College of New York and restored the American flag after anti-Israel protesters replaced it. The protests led to violent incidents, prompting CUNY to call in NYPD for backup.
