CCNY's parent institution, the City University of New York, said in a statement that a large crowd marched from Columbia to CCNY. CUNY public safety staff arrested 25 people, but as the crowd grew in size administrators "made the difficult decision to request NYPD assistance," it said. Police officers pushed back protesters at the City College of New York last night, as they arrested more than 25 people.

"But some confusion remains, therefore we are also ordering an independent external review of both UCLA’s planning and actions, and the effectiveness of the mutual aid response."

"The established encampment is unlawful and violates university policy," the message sent to protesters said. Rival groups that had earlier been involved in violent confrontations appeared to have been separated by a line of police officers by 2 a.m.

Location

Police arrested 25 people at the City College of New York campus late last night, after what it called a series of violent incidents in recent days. A group identified as counterprotesters were seen in footage shared on social media throwing lit fireworks into the pro-Palestinian protest encampment. Clashes erupted at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the early hours today when pro-Palestinian protesters and counterprotesters clashed— with no visible police or security presence so far. "UCLA supports peaceful protest, but not activism that harms our ability to carry out our academic mission and makes people in our community feel bullied, threatened and afraid," he continued. Police are about to arrive on scene at UCLA, where clashes have taken place between members of a pro-Palestinian encampment and counterprotesters, according to the office of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

Protesters clash with police at University of Wisconsin-Madison encampment

The university said that Royce Hall would remain closed through Friday and students should watch for notifications about their classes when they resume. He said the relationship between the administration and students and faculty is "destroyed" — "It’s a crisis level like I’ve never seen before. I’ve been here 24 years." "As I understand that the people who were arrested last night are still in jail, and so until they've come out of jail, we won’t actually know who it was that was actually in Hamilton Hall," said Slaughter, who also serves as the director of the Institute for the Study of Human Rights. Protesters arrested at the University of Georgia were issued interim suspensions and barred from campus without being given a chance to appeal. Protesters at the encampment were distributed fliers directing them to leave Fordham University property immediately.

He added that violence has no place in free speech and said there would have been a “national outcry” if it had been the pro-Palestinian students inciting violence instead of pro-Israel counterprotesters. "Last night’s attack on UCLA students supporting Palestine was only the latest incident of violence against them," the statement read in part. "In recent days, pro-Israel extremists directed racial slurs and sexual threats at students, spat on a student, and released a pack of mice into the encampment." In an emailed statement, executive director Hussam Ayloush of CAIR's L.A. Chapter said he is calling on the state attorney general's office to investigate "the lack of response" by university and Los Angeles police officers.

Violent scenes at UCLA as pro-Palestinian groups and counterprotesters clash

USC has introduced a ticketing system for its commencement events this year and canceled its main stage ceremony in light of ongoing tensions on campus amid the pro-Palestinian protests. Pro-Palestinian protesters who remain camped at UCLA accused a pro-Israeli group of carrying out a "terror" attack and criticized college leaders for not protecting them. The rest of those arrested had no affiliation with the college, Humboldt said in a statement. Secretary of State Antony Blinken speaks to families and supporters of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza during a protest calling for their return in Tel Aviv today.

Earlier Wednesday morning, protesters clashed with police at UW-Madison as police carried out arrests and cleared out an encampment by pro-Palestinian demonstrators on campus. Protesters at UW-Madison, and dozens more across the country, have been calling for their universities to divest funding supporting Israel. State troopers have aided local and campus police in breaking up encampments and arresting protesters at Emory University in Atlanta and the University of Georgia in Athens. Emory’s president has since apologized for calling outside officers after police used pepper spray balls, aggressively tackled protesters and used an electrical stun gun to shock at least one protester.

UCLA and other schools must ensure that students can continue to peacefully protest the genocide in Gaza without facing attacks by violent pro-Israel mobs."

Featuring a terrace, the 3-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom.

CAIR-LA calls for California attorney general to investigate law enforcement response at UCLA

"Many of the demonstrators, as well as counter-demonstrators who have come to the area, have been peaceful in their activism. But the tactics of others have frankly been shocking and shameful," he said in a statement last night. Police have not identified any of those arrested or provided details on any charges. However, he did not share details on who or how many of these non-university affiliated individuals were involved or in what fashion they were involved. Moments later, rival protesters engaged in a fistfight, with one person struck with a metal pole. Subsequent videos show both sides trading songs and chants.

"But students and outside activists breaking Hamilton Hall doors, mistreating our Public Safety officers and maintenance staff, and damaging property are acts of destruction, not political speech." California State Polytechnic University said it was continuing a cleanup operation on campus after 32 people, including 13 students and one faculty member, were arrested late yesterday in connection with what it called the "illegal occupation of two campus buildings." More than 1,500 people have been arrested since April 18 in connection with protests and encampments on U.S. university and college campuses, according to an NBC News tally. “As the day progressed, police observed participants in person and through social media expressing their intent to use some of the items they brought on campus as weapons and to resist university staff members and law enforcement officers.

Room was so spacious and wonderful for our group of three friends. Property is very clean, staff very welcoming and breakfast delicious. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass strongly condemned the violence at UCLA overnight, calling it "absolutely abhorrent and inexcusable." The group said that UCLA administrators were trying to clear the camp not because it violates safety policies, as they have said, but because "they refuse to protect us."

Lovicott said police plan to continue monitoring the protests. "Over the course of Sunday night into Monday, individuals who were gathered at the encampment significantly deviated from the guidelines and ignored directives to follow them, including by erecting tents and through the use of amplified sound," Maric said. The House has passed a bill aimed at combating antisemitism as pro-Palestinian protests roil colleges across the United States. The number of students expelled or who face expulsion for being involved in the seizure and occupation of Hamilton Hall remains unclear, and Chang did not have those numbers this afternoon. Breakfast was super nice and the staff was amazing (very nice Atlanta recommendations!).

A group of counterprotesters attempted to dismantle the walls of a pro-Palestinian encampment, as one individual was dragged and beaten as clashes erupted on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles early this morning. “In the days leading up to this action we issued multiple verbal warnings, written statements, broadcasted messages and erected a huge sign warning demonstrators that they were trespassing and were subject to arrest,” school officials said. New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a briefing this morning that while some students were involved in the occupation of Hamilton Hall at Columbia University — they were "led by individuals not affiliated with the university." The Council on American-Islamic Relations’ New York chapter denounced the NYPD arrest of student protesters who "are on the right side of history" yesterday and called for the Manhattan district attorney to drop charges against them.

The NYPD's deputy commissioner for public information, Tarik Sheppard, told NBC News this morning that 230 people were arrested at Columbia, between 40 and 50 of whom were at the occupied Hamilton Hall, while the rest were arrested at CCNY. "Overwhelming majority of the protesters are unaffiliated with our community," school officials said. An encampment protest demanding divestment from Israel started yesterday at DePaul University, a private Catholic university nestled in Chicago's bustling Lincoln Park neighborhood. It's not clear how many of those were students, faculty or individuals not affiliated with the schools. He noted that the encampment protests were "completely peaceful, nonviolent," though Hamilton Hall is a different case.

As a result, USF police determined that the protest was no longer peaceful, and participants must leave the area,” USF said. Hours before police action yesterday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams blamed unspecified “outsiders” for campus volatility. He said this morning that while some students were involved in the occupation of Hamilton Hall, they were “led by individuals not affiliated with the university.” Columbia has not responded to a request for comment regarding the statement.

Ten people were arrested after police declared the protest an “unlawful assembly” yesterday afternoon. School officials had said in a release that 75 to 100 protesters — including some students and some not affiliated with the university — arrived on campus with wood shields, umbrellas and tents. At times, incendiary language has been made by counterprotesters, one such instance reported at Northeastern University by a GBH news reporter. "They have many supporters in our community and have a right to express their views and engage in peaceful protest," Shafik said in a statement today.
