Here in New York, a dozen Columbia University students and faculty members were arrested Thursday for blocking traffic on Broadway outside campus in protest of Trump’s immigration crackdown and to demand Columbia enact stronger protections for its international students. Protesters wore matching shirts emblazoned with the words “Sanctuary Campus Now.”
Protester: “Universities should be the first line of defense against fear and repression, not a testing ground for it. If a campus cannot protect its own students and scholars, what does it stand for?”
In Italy, protests have continued opposing the deployment of ICE agents to join the U.S. delegation to the Winter Olympics in Milan, where hundreds of protesters gathered for the opening ceremony today.
Protester: “They’re murderers, and they killed very, very a lot of people, innocent people. And they’ve done bad things that I don’t approve of and we don’t approve of. And we don’t want them here, even just for the Olympics.”
