Nearly half of the protesters arrested at Columbia University were not students, indicating concerns about outside agitators radicalizing non-students.
Mayor Eric Adams highlighted that over 40% of the initial arrests were 'outsiders,' stating concerns about professionals fueling non-peaceful protests and influencing young people.
Adams emphasized the issue of individuals, including professionals, who were not affiliated with the schools being involved in the violent unrest at Columbia and CUNY.
The arrest of non-students like Fernando Bobis raised further concerns about external influences radicalizing individuals and causing chaos on the campuses.
