"#ColumbiaUniversity asked the New York police department to help clear pro-Palestinian activists after dozens of protesters occupied parts of the main campus library on Wednesday."

"In a statement posted on X, protesters confirmed that they had refused to show their IDs and that some had sustained injuries in the skirmish with the public safety officers.

“We will not be useless intellectuals,” protesters said in a statement. “#Palestine is our compass, and we stand strong in the face of violent oppression.”"
