Students at Columbia set up a protest encampment demanding university divestment from companies linked to Israel, coinciding with the Columbia president's congressional testimony on antisemitism.
NYPD arrested 108 students peacefully protesting in the encampment, leading to temporary suspensions, including Isra Hirsi, daughter of US congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
Columbia President Shafik requested NYPD to clear the encampment, describing it as disrupting campus life, while professors criticized the crackdown for stifling free inquiry at the university.
