President Donald Trump said earlier this week that 'Federal Funding will STOP for any ... University that allows illegal protests'​


The New York Police Department took multiple protesters into custody at Barnard College late Wednesday when the occupation of the school library to protest the expulsion of three students who expressed anti-Israel views was broken up over a bomb threat.

On Wednesday evening, the NYPD was called to the Milstein Center on the prestigious campus after a bomb threat and hours of anti-Israel agitators demonstrating inside the campus building.

"Anyone who refuses to leave the location is subject to arrest," the NYPD said in an X post. "Please stay away from the area."

Sources confirmed to Fox News that at least 10 people were arrested. The NYPD declined to provide information on their charges.

The arrests came only because of the (fake) bomb threat and the need to make sure the people (and building) were safe. This is how you can now veto a non-violent protest you don't like. Just commit a crime.
