breached last night, the university has allowed the protesters to control who enters the camp monday, a jewish student posted this protesters wealth outside of their encampment. he says, blocking his way. >> they're not letting me walk in. my class is over there. i want to use that entrance, ucla called this a parent and remove those barriers, then last night, this a lot to what happened last night was an attack on our encampment by zionists thugs that the university did nothing to stop. ucla has until now kept security light. >> the lapd out of sight until late last night, but after what happened today, law enforcement is on-site and all classes are canceled now, over the past couple of days, will this has been the buffer zone between the pro-palestinian encampment and anyone else after what happened late last night into this morning, that buffer zone
11:09 pm
as now? >> hi been extended 50 or 60 yards that way has it worked well? yes. and no, i was just over there and witnessed a faculty group expressing their solidarity with the pro-palestinian protesters. they were then shouted down by pro-israeli protesters. didn't get violent, but it was very, very loud. and people were very, very angry. so basically that problem has just been moved a little ways over there. so we'll see what happens this afternoon and into this evening. >> all right. nick, thank you very much. nick watt on the scene for us at ucla. >> want to head over to the university of wisconsin at madison right now, that's where cnn's whitney wild. >> they're standing by whitney police. i understand. with batons and riot shields tore down protesters tents on the campus this morning. give us the latest well, if this is a very different scene from this morning when it was pretty chaotic, what you see right now are dozens, if not hundreds, of students gathered here this is the library mall at the university of wisconsin
11:10 pm
madison. >> there's a mix of students and protesters and protest organized or tells me that most of the students you've see here will our protesters, again, very calm here, very different from what we saw this morning. university officials say that this encampment has been up since monday. and in that time students here have been issued warning after warning after warning, that there is an explicit ban on camping and even still, those tense remained. so it was around seven this morning that please here at the university of wisconsin, madison as well as local and state police, began that law enforcement action that we saw earlier today. and as it was described to me by a protester, police linked up had basically align with their riot shields and moved into those tense and took down several of them. but we'll i'll take you over to where the tent can't meant is you can get a better sense of it. so earlier today after that law enforcement action, this was almost all gone except for a few of these tents in that time since that law enforcement
11:11 pm
action happened at wrapped up brown nine this morning central time, these tens have gone back up. so now the big question is, is there going to be another law enforcement action we've asked that question. we have not yet heard back the result of the action this morning were 30 before arrests, 30 people did not receive charges, only four people receive charges and some of those include battery on a police officer. although our understanding is that of the 30 two were released, there is always a chance that they may be cited later, but it presents the majority of those people were detained and released without charges. again, we'll the situation remains very much as it began with this tent and cabinet. so we'll see if there's another belief it's enforcement action later on, ten situation that all these college campuses, whitney well, thank you very much just ahead of first-hand account of the violent clashes that ucla from a student journalist who was in the middle of it all, plus the state of security on campuses where protests are erupting. >> a police are cracking down. this is a situation room

11:23 pm
dallas campus of the university of texas. >> cnn's ed lavendera is joining us on the phone right now. and what can you tell us? >> well, this this situation developing on the campus of the university of texas at dallas, which is in the suburb, northern suburb of richardson, just north of dallas but the campus was about 30,000 students and an or student organization called students for justice. in palestine started setting up an encampment area early this morning around 4:30 a.m. central time. and now within the last 30 minutes or so, we have seen a massive presence, presence of state troopers, as well as local police going through the encampment, starting to rip apart pence and coverings. they're pushing the students back this is an organization that had been holding a number of citizens over the last ten days or so in administration offices calling for the university to divest
11:24 pm
itself from investments that support israel, as well as calling for university leaders your ship to call for a ceasefire in gaza. but this is really the most intense scenes of protests that we've seen on this particular campus of ut d in just north of dallas. and they're several hundred students out there that were in that encampment and it grew very quickly. well, it started as i mentioned, just after 4:00 this morning, and it wasn't until some 12 hours later, so that authorities moved in and started a dispersing the crowd there and that's the scene that continues to unfold at this our campus unrest, continuing to spread all across the country right now, ed lavendera, thanks for that update. the protests are clearly also having an impact on the campaign trail tonight, donald trump's slamming president biden over the anti gaza war protests, saying, i'm quoting him now nowhere to be found. >> he's referring to a president by cnn's kristen
11:25 pm
holmes is joining us from michigan right now, where former president trump by hazard event later this hour, cnn's mj lee is in florida covering an appearance by vice president kamala harris there, kristen, first of all, tell us more about what trump is saying. i would ask. >> yes. all right. now, donald trump is in michigan and giving pretty standard campaign speech earlier he was in wisconsin seizing on what he an open with these campus protests as across the country. this idea that it is given an opening, it to it as positive. joe biden i'm forced to navigate ease sensitive issue ahead of the november election. essentially doubled down. you said that donald facts or be that president biden was not possible? raised a lot of forcing further crackdowns take alyssa, the cameras, harb radical extremists and far-left agitators are terrorizing college campus is as you possibly noticed, and biden's nowhere to be found. he hasn't said anything but there is
11:26 pm
political he also pointed to a cvs report that said that the biden administration was considering bringing in refugees are people who are fleeing the war in gaza as refugees. >> he went on to say that this was bad for these columns campuses that again, phrase law enforcement reports. >> this is just another opportunity for donald trump that he's really seizing on. >> the, he has essentially upper hand and this is because you're not president. >> he hasn't proposed who is any sort of tangible plan that has to put into action and they are looking at this as an opportunity ahead, november as biden seem hope that this eases up donald trump's normally hopes that it ramps up to help his campaign. >> roses going to be i think that he's kristen thank you very much. and trump can campaign today because the criminal trial, the hush money criminal trial in new york is in recess on wednesdays. let's
11:27 pm
go over to check in what's happening with the vice president, kamala harris was in florida. she spent the day focusing and in her speech on abortion rights. but how much pressure or she and president biden facing to speak out about the campus protests all across the country. mj lee is joining us right now. what's the latest on that front mj wolff, the focus for the biden campaign here in jacksonville today was entirely on the issue of reproductive rights. vice president kamala harris coming to florida on the same de that a controversial six-week abortion ban went into effect, and the vice president really pointing her finger at the former president donald trump, saying that there's currently a full on a salt on reproductive rights and saying that a second trump term would mean more bans, more suffering, and less freedom. one thing that the vice president did not mention onstage here in jacksonville is the eruption of pro-palestinian protests across college campuses. back in
11:28 pm
washington. of course, the white house has been closely monitoring the situation, and we've seen the white house trying thank to walk this delicate balance of saying that they support the right to peacefully protest and the freedom of speech. but also trying to draw the line at any kind of hate speech on anti-semitism. and we saw white house press secretary karine jean-pierre. today answering the question of why the president himself has not addressed this issue in recent days? let's take a listen the president is being kept regularly updated. >> no president. no president has spoken more forcefully about batting anti-semitism than this president but he responded leads me to the impression that the white house views antisemitism has synonymous with the protests as a whole that's i was very clear about there's a small number of students who are causing the disruption and you know, wolfe, one consistent thing that i have heard of my colleagues have heard in recent days is this insistence from
11:29 pm
white house officials the president is being driven by policy and not politics when it comes to the israel-hamas war, the idea being that if he were being driven by politics maybe he would be making a different decision gone down a different path. we are also learning from pool reporters at a fundraiser that the president was in in washington, that this issue is not one that he addressed in front of donors will hurt mj lee. thank you very much. kristen holmes. thanks to you. as well. let's get some more on all of these developments with our political experts, karen finney, i'll start with you, president biden is walking a tight rope on this issue. does he need to speak up more forcefully on these protests all over the these college campuses, all over the country three how do you think he should approach this? >> i actually think they're doing the right thing. many of these protesters, if you believe what they're saying, their demands are, our issues related to the administrations of their college campuses and so i do think there are issues where, having the president
11:30 pm
insert himself is not necessarily the right right thing. and the other thing i would just note is that politicos reporting this evening that the president is going to actually give a speech sometime next week on antisemitism. so i do think he's trying to make sure we don't lose the real issue here, which is anti-semitism. know pushing back against take. >> but it's a different thing to say. you care about the palestinian people than it is two, then some of what we're hearing from the protesters. last thing i'll just mention, i think the size really matters. i mean, i think monitoring how big this really is, as you know, harvard university is one of the best youth polls and they found that this issue is actually number 15 among college students. so i think keeping it in perspective is helpful. >> yeah, that's important to keep it in perspective, but that poll was taken before all these demonstrations really exploded the way they are. these college campus alyssa farah griffin. i want you in
11:31 pm
our viewers to listen to the way trump described law enforcement. the nypd in new york specifically going into columbia university, listen to this it was a beautiful thing to watch new york's finest you saw him go up and ladders to breaking the windows and getting in and that's dangerous because you don't know what's on the other side. that window. and they went in, they knocked it out and they were incredible. they did a great job new york's finest so what, what do you make of that alyssa listen, trump's seizing the opportunity of this moment. i think we are in a very real scenario where these campus protests could be part of a perfect storm to really boost donald trump. and i say this because joe biden risks losing support from his left foot plank. we know that the young people are not with them. we know the progressive left is not with him with regard to america's response and support for israel, but we also know that a lot of moderate swing voters who he carried in 2020, who are probably inclined to be with him they see what we're seeing on college campuses this this this violence, this
11:32 pm
lawlessness, this reckless list. and it really resonates. i, i'm just gonna disagree with karen here. i think the president should give a national address. i think he owes it to the young voters here to explain exactly what he is doing with regard to the war in gaza, what he's asking of bibi netanyahu and how he has been working to get a ceasefire. he needs there's a level of educating be the communicator and chief here. he can't sit back or he could wake up in a moment and realize that this really benefited donald trump's interesting, jasmine abu talib of the washington post is also with us. as being you are there inside the white house briefing earlier today. why is the biden administration apparently? having such a difficult time addressing this issue i think they see it as a lose-lose in the way that they address it on the one hand, they condemn anti-semitism and some of the antisymmetric chance that we've heard arise at some of these protests. >> on the other hand, there are many peaceful protests palestinian demonstrators and
11:33 pm
they understand that the democratic party is deeply divided over the war and the approach president biden has chosen to take in which so far is unconditional military support of israel with more than 35,000 palestinians who have been killed. a lot of criticism of the weight award has been conducted. so i think they are trying to be very careful to not alienate the moderate voters. they need to repeat their winning 2020 coalition, but also they really need the young voters and progressive voters, which polls show widely disapprove of the way biden has handled this war. so there's sort of trying to walk this middle line of condemning antisemitism, but also saying they understand where the protesters are coming from. and there's a right to peaceful protest so i think if they, if they come down much harder than that, they risked alienating one of these groups that they need. >> i would just add the wolfe, i think the other dynamic that we need to be considering here and mj was sort of alluding to this and that is what is a way you might say politically in response to what's happening on college campus this is is not necessarily the same
11:34 pm
conversation. we know that he is having behind the scenes diplomatically to try to secure the freedom of the hostages, to try to actually secure a ceasefire. and so this is where i disagree with alyssa a little bit, which is again, he's going to give a speech next week, we'll see what he's going to say. but i think they will be writing that speech with the mindset of, again, walking this fine balance because it's still a very active situation in terms of foreign policy and trying to get bibi to do certain things that we know he does not at this point want to do is a little different than talking about the protesters. >> well, in reality, if i may jump in as campuses are going to wind down for the summer, but i don't think we anticipate seeing these protests and we saw them at the white house correspondents dinner. i think there's anticipated that there'll be at the democratic convention. people keep drawing this very, very imperfect analogy to 19 and 68. and i would just remind folks, nixon won if people see that they feel like there's
11:35 pm
protests, there's violence in the streets, swing voters hate that and they can hold their nose and vote for donald trump. so there's something more biden needs to be doing, but i take karen's point well, let's just remember democratic mayor, democratic mirrors the one who actually got it done in new york, by the way, i am very quickly it was announced today that next week the president will deliver a major speech at the us holocaust memorial museum that was announced earlier today to all of you. >> thank you very, very much. just ahead as we continue to monitor the very tense situation at fordham university in new york, we're going to break down the police response there. and at campuses all across the united states from friends coming over to mom's coming over so many ways to save life, ready, wallet, happy. 3605 my whole foods market. >> before you buy your next car. background check that car with bumper.com, or you could be losing a ton of money.

your wings. light 'em up! gentlemen, it's a beautiful... ...day to fly. mattresses made affordable i fred pleitgen in wrong. >> and this is cnn we're keeping your close eye on the situation over at fordham university in new york where protest against the israel-hamas war are clearly escalating and officers in riot gear are now just outside the university. let's go back to cnn's shimon prokupecz hizon, the scene for us in new york. cimon, give us that update wolfe a significant development here at fordham, the group of students and former students that were behind me here at fordham university camped out out in the lobby, have now been taken into custody by the nypd.
11:40 pm
>> the nypd, just a short time ago, releasing video and in the video you could see the protesters it's lined up. police officers putting those zip ties on them, removing the tense that have been in the lobby of fordham university since early this good morning. students have been refusing to leave the school, notify them that as a result, they were being suspended and then a short time ago the school sent a letter to the nypd, just like we saw with columbia university last night. and what we have previously seen with the nyu, nyu asking the ny ipd to come in and make arrests and to remove the individuals that were in the lobby. what fordham says was that there was a clear and present danger that there was a safety concern and regrettably, they needed to ask the nypd to come in and remove the protesters also significant frequently up what significant wolf's that fordham university
11:41 pm
is now asking the nypd to remain on their campus around their buildings for the graduate patient. on may 20 seconds. so this will now be the second university in the city of new york requesting the presence of law enforcement after graduation, right now, most of the people who were outside when we were on last, they've all gone. you can see here wealth. they all have left the nypd they came in force. you saw that earlier about 100 or so officers came in here and they line the street as they were making the arrest. and many of the protesters left, but the camp the university in the building right now is still surrounded by law enforcement by the nypd at every entrance and exit, and they remain on the street with this presence outside the university, but certainly a significant development here that the students, the protest is that we're in the lobby here. i don't know how much you could see through this glass. >> wolfe, but i'm hoping you could see a little. they were
11:42 pm
just simply camped out here it was less than probably about a dozen or so, less than 15 of them. there in the lobby. and so now this has been cleared out and the protesters who came out to support them have left, but the nypd remains out here to provide i'd security. >> and presumably they'll stay there for awhile. shimon prokupecz over at fordham university. thank you very much. i want to bring in former dc chief of homeland security and intelligence than l. harb along with cnn chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller, john, first of all, give us your analysis of what we are seeing the police moving in at fordham university in new york. what is the risk of heightened police responses potentially inflaming the tensions well, what's really interesting, wolfe, is that in these cases, police don't really set the tolerances the tolerances are set by the university's. >> and i think that the university presidents and administrators have been watching what is occurring at
11:43 pm
each other's campuses and changing their decisions on how long to let something go on, how much to let it grow before intervention? fordham is a jesuit school and a very tightly run operation so i think what you saw today is the occupation inside their lobby complete with tents? police were called, but what you're looking at here on this video is actually not disorder. it's classic civil disobedience the instruction was given to those who wanted to leave could leave those who remained would be arrested. they lined up peacefully and in that genre, it's looked at as a sign of your commitment to the cause i'm willing to protest. willing to take my arrest. it's called passive resistance. so this is classic civil disobedience. so i don't see it heating up or inflaming tensions as much as i see protesters there's are
11:44 pm
beginning to see that institutions are shortening the leash on this kind of activity. >> we saw done alla, we saw police fail to prevent violence over at ucla and an incident at arizona state university. we're police remove the protesters who job how complicated are these police actions right now, dealing with extremely sensitive issues and all these young students extremely complicated wolfe, because each jurisdiction has different laws and statutes, for, as john mentioned, what acceptable some property is private and some properties public depending on what type of institution additionally, law enforcement agencies have different standards in terms of how they arrest individuals, how they searched them, how they protect themselves, and when they are doing the search. and you mentioned the hijab what what they remove and what they don't remove. and so you really have to look at each case individually and within context of what's going on on the ground, there's a great
11:45 pm
juxtaposition here between how nypd handled and how the universities in new york city handled their civil disobedience and how is handled and ucla, a good point. john, turning to the nypd clearing out and arresting columbia university protesters. i want to play for you and our viewers. what we heard from new york officials listen to this when the campus should not have been there, they were people who are professionals we saw evidence of training these students don't come in the doors knowing how to barricade themselves behind barriers that they've created, right? these are all skills that are taught and learned. and that presents a problem so i'm john, how is the nypd working to understand how many protesters were outside? >> we're actually outside agitators as opposed to being
11:46 pm
students or those affiliated with the university so the people in the encampment in the tense at columbia university were almost all students, but police arrested about 40 between 4050 people inside hamilton hall and they have supplied all of those names to columbia university and the university is running it against their records to figure out how many of them were students and what percentage of them, if any, we're not. very interesting together work cut out for them, all of them. john miller, thank you. don't l. have and thanks to you as well. and we'll be right back with more news. >> link relief work blinking really, the only three and one extended release formula for dry hi think at granger, we know the ones who get it done where a lot of hats that's why we're always here for you with professional great product and

11:51 pm
proposals that are now under consideration. congressman. thanks so much for joining us. these hostage and ceasefire talks. as you and i well known our viewers know, they've been going on for many months how close are the parties right now to a potential breakthrough and you think that would lower the temperature at college campuses here in the united states yeah. >> well, wolf, it's always unwise to bet on the success of a deal in the middle east all too often conflicts there go really very, very poorly. but the president, the secretary of state director of cia the united states government has really gone to work and put their shoulder to the wheel on trying to get hamas and israel. and by the way, not just the us, but even egypt and qatar and others. and the stakes are really pretty high wealth. i'm not sure that what happens on the college campuses holds a candle to the stakes in terms of innocent life, in rafah, if a incursion into rafah can be
11:52 pm
averted by a deal that will be a lot of lives saved saved. if a deal is established, it might be something that could serve as a foundation for a larger piece deal. so there's a heck of a lot at stake whether what the reverberations would be on campus. i don't know, but i must tell you personally, i'm keeping my fingers crossed that a deal can succeed and that a lot of lives will be saved because of that. >> yeah, me too. president biden, as you know, has been forcefully condemning antisemitism but he's actually been seeing very little directly to the protesters themselves. is he doing enough, you think to lead the country through this very turbulent time? >> well, the president is obviously had to thread a very difficult needle most americans believed that we should support israel and are strong and they're supportive israel. i think most americans to look at the loss of innocent life in gaza and the humanitarian situation there and say, that's not right i'm sadly the. conflict. and i know this
11:53 pm
because i'm in politics has sort of acquired a failure to appreciate that there are profound concerns and equity he's on both sides of this struggle and the president of course, is caught in the middle of that. with respect to the campus protests, to me it doesn't seem that complicated, right? obviously, these students have right to express their opinions. we enshrined in our first amendment people's right to make points to agitate, to advocate what you don't have right to do without consequence, of course, is to break rules and to break laws. and whether you're the group of people who assaulted the capital on january 6, or a protest or who through a brick, through a starbucks window or somebody who is illegally trespassing on a on a on a faculty. on a university property there are constant sequencers. sometimes those consequences are meted out by the law, by the police departments. sometimes they're internal disciplinary. but this used to be embraced and you'll
11:54 pm
remember this wolfe, this used to be embraced by the notion of civil disobedience. martin luther king understood that sometimes you had to break the law, but that when you did that, you saw you suffered the consequences and you did so willingly. and knowingly garners or jim hims. thanks as usual for joining us. appreciate a very much. >> thank thank you, wolf. >> and coming up by campus protests now and how they compare to a long history of student descent in this country. >> let's take a look at so here guys were really everything down to its done from design and product to removal and installation, rebound this with you througugh every step of your remodel color visit rebirth.com for your free in-home consultation. millions of people have lost weight with personalized plans from new like britney, who lost 20 pounds i felt so supported by new. >> it became an anchor for me. >> noem has changed my get started today and lose 15 pounds and 15 weeks before you buy your next car, run a car

removed that tended to increase the sympathy for protesters build the size of protests and also increase the voice of more extreme activists in to horrific episodes. the vietnam era, violence turned deadly in may 1970 on the campus of state university, ohio national guard troops opened fire on student protesters, killing four of them. and injuring several others. days later, during racial injustice protests at jackson state college in mississippi, police fired at a dormitory, killing two students and injuring a dozen others, possibly a closer comparison to what's going on now took place in the 1980s when students across america protested against apartheid in south africa, they called on schools to divest themselves from companies and groups that supported the apartheid regime in south africa, much like students are now calling on colleges to divest themselves from israeli linked companies rarely we talk about boycott divestment and sanctions. that's what it wa w
