Here in New York, Jewish students chained themselves to Columbia University’s gates Wednesday to demand the school reveal the names of trustees and Columbia officials who collaborated with federal immigration authorities in the arrest last month of student protest leader Mahmoud Khalil.
Carly: “We, as Jewish students, demand transparency in that process. … You know, as Jewish students and to the Jewish people at large, being political pawns in a game is not a new occurrence, and that’s something that we very much so are here to say, 'Hey, you cannot weaponize antisemitism to harm our friends and peers.'”
Students continued their action into the early hours of this morning, even after Columbia security and NYPD arrived on the scene to cut the chains and forcibly remove protesters. We’ll hear more of their voices later in the broadcast.
