CORRECTION: In this tweet yesterday quoting the NYPD press conference, we said that 119 and 163 from Columbia University and City University of New York, respectively, were arrested. That is incorrect. (1/2)
English
This took place while student journalists were attempting to re-enter Pulitzer Hall.
English
IMPORTANT CONTEXT to reports that the @columbiajourn Dean Jelani Cobb, was "nearly arrested."
Everyone at the journalism school building — faculty, students & the dean — were told by the NYPD to stay inside the building during their operation or face the possibility of arrest.
Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine@ColumbiaSJP
Reports that NYPD nearly arrested the Dean of Journalism tonight after he advocated for the rights of press to film the events tonight. Columbia University has reached shockingly new lows tonight.
English
The initial charges on those arrested, according to NYPD Commissioner Edward A. Caban, are trespassing, criminal mischief and burglary. It is unclear how many of those arrested were students, Caban continued. (2/2)
English
A few minutes ago, police started allowing students to exit John Jay after more than two hours of keeping them inside, the student journalist reported. (4/4) #ColumbiaUniversity
English
To prevent anyone from leaving John Jay during the ongoing police activity on campus, officers barricaded at least a dozen students - including some student journalists - inside, said a CJS journalist who was trapped in the building and witnessed the events in the video. (3/4)
English
THREAD: In this tweet, which has 100,000 views, Jenna Fredo claimed the attached video shows student protesters "whining because the NYPD has barricaded them inside the building they broke into and occupied." This claim is FALSE. (1/4)

1. As per the media update released by the @Columbia spokesperson at 12:55pm, these students "face expulsion." The university has not released any statement regarding criminal charges yet.
2. There is no evidence that the student groups involved have expressed support for Hamas.
English
Both the claims in this tweet - that all the charges have been "dropped" against the protesters who occupied Hamilton Hall this morning, and that they are "pro-Hamas rioters" - are FALSE. (1/2)
Kyle Becker@kylenabecker
BREAKING.🚨 All charges have been *DROPPED* against Pro-Hamas rioters who took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia University on Monday night. Columbia U. refused to let NYPD in despite protesters allegedly committing unlawful detention, vandalism & assault.
