NYPD spokesman Carlos Nieves confirmed Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall was secure and the campus’ anti-Israel encampment was fully cleared out after authorities stormed the campus on Tuesday evening.
Police were seen moving in on Columbia anti-Israel protests, video shows, with dozens of protesters being filed into buses by authorities.
Columbia students who took over Hamilton Hall are now facing expulsion, according to a memo sent out by the Ivy League school.
NYPD also laid out possible charges for Columbia protesters on campus grounds in encampments and those who have taken over Hamilton Hall.
“For the individuals that are inside the Hamilton Hall building, [they’ll be] charged with burglary in the third degree, criminal mischief and trespassing.
The individuals that are on campus outside, they will be charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct,” NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry said at a press conference on Tuesday.
