There were approximately 280 total arrest from these two events, Bragg confirmed during Wednesday’s press conference. New York police stormed Columbia University and City College of New York on Tuesday, evicting students from both campuses. Large scale student protests have broken out across US universities against Israels war on Gaza and calling on their institutions to divest from Israel. Bragg added: As my office does…we will look carefully at each individual case on our docket and make decisions based on the facts and the law.
