Columbia University has issued a midnight deadline for the removal of pro-Palestinian demonstrators, involving hundreds of protesters, from their campus. The university administration has threatened to call in the NYPD and potentially the National Guard to clear the protest encampment if the demonstrators do not voluntarily disperse. The protests, centered around a Gaza solidarity encampment, have drawn significant attention, with organizers urging New Yorkers to join them in support. Talks are reportedly ongoing between the university administration and New York Governor Kathy Hochul regarding the possible deployment of the National Guard, with well over a hundred riot officers currently preparing.
