It was business as usual on Sept. 3, the first day of school at Columbia University’s campus, but outside the entry gates, a pro-Palestinian rally led to people being taken into police custody.

“Two people were arrested at 1300 hours today,” a New York Police Department (NYPD) spokesperson told The Epoch Times.
