 REUTERS/Caitlin OchsScores of Columbia University students were arrested Thursday afternoon after they rebuffed authorities' pleas to vacate an on-campus tent city erected in support of Palestine.
"Since you have refused to disperse, you will now be placed under arrest for trespassing," the NYPD told protesters through a loudspeaker. "If you resist arrest, you may face additional charges."
Police officers began taking protesters into custody at around 1:30 p.m., putting them in flex-cuffs and loading them onto buses parked nearby. "Shame! Shame!" some chanted as the arrests unfolded. Others broke out in their own chant of, "Columbia, Columbia you will see, Palestine will be free," and "Disclose, divest, we will not stop, will not rest."

Students at Columbia University and Barnard College in New York have set up dozens of tents to occupy the South Lawn of the campus to create a Gaza Solidarity Encampment. Democracy Now! spoke to some of the student-activists, who say they are occupying the space, despite the administration's threats of suspension and disciplinary action, as part of a demand that the Ivy League school divest from companies and institutions that profit from Israeli occupation. "It seems like the repression is only getting worse and worse," says Maryam Alwan, a student-activist with Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine.

 Mohammed Salem/ReutersA harrowing photograph showing a woman in Gaza sobbing in a morgue as she cradles the body of her 5-year-old niece won the 2024 World Press Photo of the Year Award on Thursday.
Mohammed Salem, a 39-year-old Palestinian Reuters photographer, captured the image at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis in the south of the enclave on Oct. 17, 2023. The picture shows Inas Abu Maamar, 36, embracing the shrouded corpse of her niece, Saly.
"Mohammed received the news of his WPP award with humility, saying that this is not a photo to celebrate but that he appreciates its recognition and the opportunity to publish it to a wider audience," Rickey Rogers, Reuters' Global Editor for Pictures and Video, said at a ceremony in Amsterdam. "He hopes with this award that the world will become even more conscious of the human impact of war, especially on children."

The vote against the first article, which charged Mayorkas with "willful and systemic refusal to comply" with immigration law, was 51-48, with Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) voting "present." For the second article, concerning "breach of trust," Murkowski joined her colleagues, bringing the final tally to 51-49.
It marks the first time in 225 years that the Senate immediately dismissed impeachment charges approved by the house, rather than holding a full floor trial or referring the issue to a special committee, according to The Hill.
