Columbia Library Protest Turns CHAOTIC as NYPD Arrests Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators Amid Crackdown

Columbia University witnessed fresh unrest as pro-Palestinian protesters occupied Butler Library, prompting the university to summon the NYPD.

Several demonstrators were arrested for trespassing after ignoring dispersal warnings.

Tensions soared after the Trump administration pulled $400M in funding over antisemitism claims and began visa reviews of protesters.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed efforts to deport international demonstrators.

Critics say the administration is using immigration and anti-terror laws to silence student dissent.

Columbia leadership condemned the unrest, calling it a disruption of academic order.
