Officers took protesters into custody on Tuesday evening after Columbia University called in police to end the pro-Palestinian occupation on the New York campus. The scene unfolded shortly after 9 p.m. as police, wearing helmets and carrying zip ties and riot shields, amassed at the university's entrance. Officers breached Hamilton Hall, where the demonstrators had been conducting an occupation, to clear out the building.
