8:04 am
demonstrators have been removed from the columbia university campus, but police remain in force just one of the locations here outside of the gates, where they have stage. we saw them a sporting demonstrators off the campus here earlier about 50, at least 50, were arrested and brought downtown, but others were escorted out. we spoke to them, they were very shaken up. they said that colleagues were thrown to the ground. some were dragged off and the rested police using a device, a loud shock device in order to distract the protesters and get into the building, which they said was heavily fortified. and they needed to access in order to the rest of the people inside the people who were sorted off, got away without being arrested,
8:05 am
but they are facing suspension from the university. the university said that it had to call and the police, it was concerned that demonstrators included people who were not students, not in any way affiliated with the campus. and they saw that as an added security risk. they were also under pressure from elected officials and trustees to get the situation under control while many of the faculty and students that we spoke to here, we're actually in support of the demonstration and concerned about the fact that police were called in uh, nevertheless, the police have been asked to stay here for at least another 2 weeks. as the school wraps up for the year, graduation ceremony is supposed to be may 15th. and clearly the administration is concerned that protesters could come back again and try to get back on the campus and disrupt the graduation. so that's why they've been asked to stay present salumi
8:06 am
out to 0 new york. okay, the university is off for new york police officers to remain on campus until the end of time on the 17th of may. i know we spoke to cameron jones, a lead organizer with the columbia of bronze of jewish voice for peace. he says many students when the university of leadership to resign, i think we have seen the university try again and again to silent pro palestine voices on campus. and every time they tie the silent that we only get louder. we only bring vice a numbers to our valley's largest number to add to our protest. so i am certain that you will see a large, large blow back from the student body from faculty, from alumni in the coming weeks. we will not stand for this in biling police brutality on our campus and be well stand up for what we believe is. but what of arrests and suspension from universities mean for students and does it not intimidate them?
8:07 am
i would say students are very intimidating, but it is nothing compared to what policy means that they think in gaza every day. and the best thing that is the purpose that we have and be recognized that we have to put our lives out bit. so we can protect individuals in gaza and the west bank. can you through zillow? did you see students threatening stop? was there a breakdown in order with us threats to secure the on campus to marathons? and that is that i have not heard any threats against staff or public safety and the occupation of hamilton hall, which has not been to be named in the hall with nothing but the false no one with times. and there was no violence of any sort. the only valleys we have seen now is by the n y, p d being brought in by with me a rest peaceful protest. this coming in response to all of this was all students are asking for of the university all the calls for the administrators,
8:08 am
or indeed the president, president, suffolk to step down over this. so yeah, some fleet lead there was a large, large support for me news to seek to resign for laura rose and barry to resign to the president of fine arts and for a whole investigation that i've seen this happen in the past few weeks to be done and then florida police and he's a gas to break up a demonstration as a school in tampa, where he's raised as an incumbent at the university of south florida. resting several students. it comes off to similar us at all. the universities across the states of the university of texas in austin, a number of student purchases, were arrested on monday and we're still in jail on tuesday. how does your caspar has moved? there has been a slow trickle of the protesters that are being released according to the university of texas austin, administration. 79 people were arrested for mondays protests. and they had
8:09 am
been charged with. we're seeing a lot of criminal trespassing as a major charge here. and now more than 24 hours later, still the vast majority remain inside the jail that's behind me. and that's despite the calls that you're hearing behind me of not only free talestine, a free those protesters. these are you t students, some faculty member and other members of the austin community, the house of vigil overnight waiting for every last one of those arrested to be released. and joining us is a guest who is an attorney has been helping some of those that i've been detained. this as well as some of the thanks for joining us. tell me about the charges that these individuals are facing. and some of the criticism that you know, this started out as a peaceful protest. so are these charges valid? i think it's important to note discounts for these continue to be peaceful protests . they started as peaceful protests,
8:10 am
and that never changed. any students are protesting. and their exercising are right constitutionally guaranteed to them at a public university. no them broke any laws. the university of texas police department threatened them with the criminal trespass morning if they refuse to disperse, which is something they shouldn't have been asked to do in the 1st place. so in, in sort to answer your question, no, i don't think these charges are valid. how many have been released to your knowledge and what is, what is it that they are going to experience now? so just having been here a couple of hours today, it seems like only a handful, probably not within 5 or 6 if i had to guess have been released. obviously the students have been here for a very long time. and i'm sorry, it goes without saying being and being in a holding cell being and county lock up is traumatized thing and experience enough for kids. this young that's tons of golf. and now where weeks of is rainy strikes us totally destroying the northern says you have
