2,000 arrested as protests rock US colleges, Biden says ‘order must prevail’
At least 2,000 people have so far been arrested in connection with the protests on college campuses against the Israel-Hamas war. According to the Associated Press, the arrests have been made across 35 campuses, since a tent encampment began at Columbia University on April 17. Meanwhile, a police officer involved with clearing protesters from a Columbia University building fired his gun inside the hall. However, no one was injured.Â
The demonstrators had seized Hamilton Hall on April 30, ramping up their presence on the campus from a tent encampment that had been there. Tensions on college campuses have been building for days as administrators turned to police to clear demonstrators by force, leading to clashes that have seized widespread attention.
