NYPD raid Columbia University and arrest protesters after hall occupied - BBC News | |
(32 minutes later) | |

Reporting from Columbia University | |
A row of police still guard the front entrance to Columbia University, but the scene has calmed. | |
Over the past three hours, buses filled with protesters have driven by, and chanting students and media have gathered. | |
The standoff escalated when university's president, Minouche Shafik, sent a letter to clear the encampment by yesterday afternoon. | |
Protesters did not, and their fellow students and faculty guarded the encampment’s entrance. | |
But overnight, students seized Hamilton Hall and renamed it Hind's Hall - after a six-year-old Palestinian girl killed in Gaza in February. | |
After a day in which the campus was mostly blocked off, police entered on Tuesday night and began making arrests. They marched out those they had detained and loaded them onto buses. | |
Protesters cheered as buses filled with them drove by. They chanted “Shame on you” and “Quit your job” to police. | |
