The New York Police Department arrested 61 females at Columbia University on Wednesday as anti-Israel agitators stormed the Butler Library.

New York City police took 80 people into custody after responding to protests on Columbia's campus, the police department said.

The Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism, which was created following a February executive order from President Donald Trump, applauded Shipman’s statement as “strong and resolute,” saying she “has stepped in to lead Columbia at a critical juncture and has met the moment with fortitude and conviction.”
