Com are firm only represents Mesothelioma Victims and their families. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with ms ophelie oma. Call us now cnns Breaking News all right. We do have some Breaking News. We are monitoring major protests, rocking several colleges across the country right now. All all having to do with the israelhamas war in austin. And this is for moments ago here at the University Of Texas, a large group of students walked out of class today as part of a propalestinian demonstration. And they were met with a heavy response from troopers who appeared to make a number of arrests. There was a large Student Protests it is also underway in los angeles at the university of Southern California and of course, weve seen student in canvas on the campuses of brown and Columbia University as well, who want to go to usc now cnns nick watt, who is on the scene for us negate. It is a tense scene behind you. Weve heard chance of let him go what is actually happening behind well, so what is happening behind me bars is one of the protesters was arrested and put into that squad car. You see right there, the car was then surrounded by protesters demanding let him go, let him go, let them go it appears that they might actually be letting him go. This is just a perfect example of the issue to that College Campus officials have across this country of how to police these events before they moved in to try and move tents and other things off this little hello. Park. It was a peaceful demonstration. There were speakers. It was peaceful. About 200 people as soon as Public Safety officers from the university moved in, it very quickly gop verbal. And then it very quickly got violent after that, there was pushing and shoving, cursing, swearing a great deal of anger, and then this arrest which is what we are seeing behind me right now. Meantime, over on the park where the tents were pitched processors have now picked those tense up and our marching with the tempts that are not breaking any university ordinances, but they are still making their points. Now. A lot of anger and these protesters were saying that they are not going to leave now so initially they came here about 4 30 this morning. Pitch some tense. They were told by the college to take him down and they did then they felt that they were being silenced. They said hey, that the College Officials were quote, nitpicking by getting at them for hanging banners on trees and for pitching the tents. And that is when things very, very quickly turned contentious and turned violent back to you all right. Nick, standby, if you would, is we keep an eye on this and were keeping an eye on that police car. There as well. Emilia kimball of the student newspaper, the daily texan at ut austin is back with us now. Amelia, youre watching the protests at the University Of Texas its sort of reached a fever pitch just moments ago. Tell us what youre seeing now students have largely moved from the original location of the demonstration to the main lawn on campus and students are starting to lay out blankets and pitch tents and amelia or earlier, you had mentioned to us that there was some very basic sort of disagreement between the organizers of the demonstration and officials on Campus Administrators who would effectively tried to ward students off of this idea of demonstrating, walk us through how we got to what were seeing now yeah, absolutely. So from what i understand, university had told organizers of the event not to proceed with it and students did proceed anyway, hours before any students gathered there was a large number of State Troopers on campus and the Police Presence has only increased, including University Of Texas police and Austin Police protesters were ordered to disperse just a few minutes into the demonstration and then the police threatened arrest and numerous arrests have been made. Numerous students have been put in swat cart, put put an a squad car and theres there have been multiple physical confrontations between Police Officers, State Troopers in full riot gear with buttons, et cetera. And students emily had talked to us a little bit about what students theyre on campus have been saying obviously there are there are so many theyre completely different opinions when it comes to this war. But theres also this fine line between free speech and then students feeling that they earn a safe environment where they can learn what are you hearing from students there is there is significant support for demonstrators. There is a small contingency of counter protesters with israeli flags and signs some students are in class right now. I just watched one student go into office hours, so i think that some students and professors are proceeding as usual and others are either participating in a demonstration or kind of gathering along the sidelines and watching and showing support for demonstrators amelia i asked her this previously, but i was hoping you might be able to give us a bit more clarity on what its been like on campus since october when hamas launched its attacks against israel and israel responded in gaza have you have we seen an escalation since then what is it been like for these groups that have organized these demonstrations over the last few months yeah so todays demonstration is by far the biggest and the most impactful that weve seen since october there, there there there were some demonstrations in a walkout from classes in october and fall of la year and there have been a few there had been a few demonstrations, buthis, thiss, this is a sere escalati. I thinthe environment on campus has been s been fraught, but e movement has not movent real, i would say until feed toda and emilia, i donknow if youre watching between this, t weere just sing all of these students push ba there. Annow we see why that police have come into the frame and our attempting it looks like two blkade stunts or what what are y seeing re . What, whats happening . Yeah, im im about ten feet away from all that. So students have had largely moved to the main line and protests or police, excuse me, just just started to move in and are now walking into the students proud, theres now a physical clash between students and police youre seeing a physical clash between students and lets Police Police just walked into the crowd. Okay. And were seeing th and were going to keep an eye on that. Emilia standby for us and eu, let us okay amelia describe for us what isappening, what ten feet from this believed or move, have you into the crowd . They appear to have detained at least one student students on the sidelines are moving in and filming. Students are chanting let him go, let him go are standing there drought please standby and give us an update on the situation as it develops. We want to stay on these images bring in cnn analyst juliette kayyem, who has closely been monitoring the situations and juliette what we just watched, the is something th is typical of Law Enforcement protocol in situations like this, you saw Law Enforcement officers in a Line Approach the crowd essentially extract someone from t crowdhat they deemed potentiay to be a risk or to be out of line in and in a closed line, they move that person back and take them into custody and speak to them. Perhaps apprehend them is a better way tdescribe it as opposed to being taken into custody what are you seeing unfold right now and what Security Concerns do you have . Not only four those folks that are trying to keep the peace, but for students on campuses that are just trying to go to class yeah, exactl because we have seen at some schools have have closed down or gone to zoom so theres no singular approach. Ill give a little bit of a historical precedent and then here, look, we havent university police, local police have not dealt with sort of extensive Student Protest since black lives matter, which happened during covid or had a very different feel than this does now, in terms of everyone out in about classes or ending, theres a lot of dead time, so to speak, for students and so colleges and universities have to do three things. And im pretty clear about this. One is they do have to allow space for students to protest. I said youve got to give them an outlet. The students are allowed to protest. This should not be as shocked to anyone with teenagers or young, young adult children. They have strong feelings in their passionate because if you just immediately go to arrest, its going to cause i think some of the what were seeing on air which is nothings happening. And then lots is happening. You want to give Students Space as long as youre protecting students who want to go to classes, jewish students, if their, their targeted the second is you have to have off ramps. You have to in terms of these colleges and universities youve got to give students rules about what they are and are not allowed to do. And maybe this happened at usc, but they have to be clear about yes. So you can protest. No, you cant block a building and this is whats going to happen if you block the building. And then third is of course, then exert your outcomes, right . I mean in other words, these kids who are violating these rules is students then have some sort of punishment and whether you need the police or something less than that is is each college and universities decision. But in the absence of violence at this stage, it is it behooves a lot of colleges and universities to think through essentially how they are going to try to deescalate deescalate this this is on their property and that includes things ill be honest at like you know, like like Access Controls are all of these students can we check ids of gates . Some of the universities are different. Look, im working with a lot of colleges and universities right now because they do want to deescalate. They want to give students a chance, but two protest, but they want to protect other students who make feel threatened. And then those who simply arent involved with this at all. I think we were going to find a hopefully a medium between those two things, especially as we lead up to graduation. I think that really is the balance here. Juliette, i mean, when you think back even in the 60s, the free speech movement, were seeing this thing with the car is sort of reminding us of what happened in berkeley. There, these moments sometimes of Law Enforcement moving in actually create some times a moment of escalation which isnt to say in stillman, these protests that we have seen listening to columbia, there are a lot of students weve had them on the program, were they are not feeling safe. So it is a fine line certainly between free speech, knowing who is part of these protests but how should Law Enforcement be approaching this in a very real way at the moment as they go in and assess these protests that theyre going into where it does just appear to be pushing towards escalation yes. So i know people want depending on what youre ideology has, maybe you want the kids punished sooner rather than later, but that does put people at risk. In other words, it is incumbent on police, so ive said this 1 million times on air for any issue as well as these institutions to try to deescalate even if we dont like whats going on or we may not agree with whats going on. So one size does not fit all its going to depend. So one is what are the rules . Rules of engagement. We cannot put Police Officers especially nonuniversity Police Officers, as weve seen in some of these jurisdictions, just out there, fully armed terrifying students who are maybe they just viewed themselves as just expressing their dismay with the war. Are there, are criticisms of the biden administration. So what are the Rules Of Engagement . The second is, is there is there a reach out as were seeing in some of these colleges and universities to the Student Organizations to engage them on what is and is not appropriate activity. In other words, we dont have to treat the protesters as enemies. They just disagree with the institution. Or they disagree with the government. And that can help deescalate as well. And then third is the punishment that were talking about. If someone is violent, is someone is threatening students. If someone ought not to be there and. Is exacerbating the tensions. But you definitely you dont you know, we often say like we dont want to get to def con one in an hour. Right . Somethings gone wrong. If you have a peaceful protests two, now you know, maybe its just a little bit of escalation here are some escalation here and thats im not happy be about it, but thats the kind of planning that colleges and universities are going to have to address now, because we are entering or sort of downtime for students. Or i know this. I have my last class in an hour downtime for students as well as as well as graduations. So in other words, dont give them an outlet give them off ramps, and then have them suffer outcomes if appropriate. And thats and thats an each university and college is going to be different julia, please standby for us as we monitor these tense interactions at times, physical struggles between demonstrators and police. Weve seen several arrests and i have heard reports of several arrests as well on campuses ranging from the university of south california, Southern California in los angeles to the University Of Texas at austin all this as House Speaker, mike johnson is set to speak at Columbia University with a congressional delegation roughly in the next half hour or so speaking out about the antisemitism that has been on display at some of these demonstrations were going to take a quick break as we monitor the situation, you see students running there in austin were going to step away for a moment, but will give you the very latest on cnn in just a few minutes.

Im Natasha Bertrand at the pentagon and this is cnn were continuing to follow Breaking News propalestinian protests breaking out on College Campuses from coasttocoast. Thats right. Protests about the war in gaza. Were seeing it escalate here. Weve been following of course Columbia University, but were now also watching usc in los angeles and ut austin. There in texas, where weve just seen Police Presence grow and the i guess animosity in a way between Law Enforcement and some protestors definitely escalate. Weve seen that with a lot of people just obviously observing whats going on, but theres been quite a bit of chaos there at those scenes. We have reporters across the country, Cnns Omar Jimenez is at columbia tell us about what youre expecting, especially because they House Speaker mike johnson is set to speak yeah. So hoe Speaker Mike Johnson is expected to be here wiin ts afternoon. And what yreooking arit now, youre just eing the encampment that is here now for an eighth day here at Columbia University, it reay firs went up to coiide with the University President when She Testifieon Capol hill about antisemiti on campus, that was when the eampment went up. It w not lonafter that that the my pd was cald ino clear out the encampment. It and culty here a it was nts part of what prompted a revival of the camp. And it also prompted faculty to wa out were then arrestednd or s tt suspended and thenast forward to last night thUniversity President gave a Midnight Adline for this camp to clear out that or she said they would have to find alternative ways to clear out this gap. Midnight came and went. Nothing happened. A few hours later, University Spokesperson said they actually have been making and Good Progress and toxins. So that deadline has been pushed out 48 hours. But of course, at the crux of all of this is the protests. They say that this is because they want columbia to divest from companies that profit from israel, but also at the same time, there is a Jewish Population at this, at this university, some of whom weve spoken to who say that the protests makes them feel uncomfortable, threatened, even so a few went as far as to say as feel not safe on campus even though there are some jewish students who have gone into the encampment as well. And then you contrast this type of demonstration with some of what weve seen offcampus. A lot of demonstrations have happened at the gates of Columbia University. Thats where weve seen. While students can participate in that, a lot of nonstudents ive come to that and thats where we have tended to see a little bit more violent and messaging a little bit more antisemitic messaging there so much so that even some of the students have tried to distance themselves from some of those protests. But again, bottom line, we are entering into an eighth day here. Speaker johnson is expected to be he this afternoon, not too long from righnow where we do expect him to call for the the resignation of the unirsity president here because he feels that she has done a week job to keep jewish students safe on this campus. So we expect that call to happen officially a little bit later this afternoon. And again, comes on the eighth day now this encampment that clearly weve seen methods of which spread to campuses across this country. Whether its camping out or protests, solidarity with this campus, solidarity with gaza. In general, and clearly theres something that is manifested pretty quickly right . That. Live for is that for now jewish columbia student, parker did decker who has talked about his experience when it comes to whats going on at columbia parker. I know you recently left campus because of the situation there. You are watching what is has unfolded at columbia, were now walking i ching im sure you can see as well whats happening at usc and ut austin ll us what you think about what youre seeing around the country . I think whats happening right now is there seems to be a large ount of dissonance between what is peaceful protest and what is advocacy. And what ilearning in leading into violent forms are protest. And so i think whats really happening right now is theres a movement thats galvanized by the want and need for social advocacy and juan for change in the gaza strip with a war between hamas and israel. I think there were a lot of students who feel personally invested in this social issue. And so i fully stand with the students who want to be involvements from advocacy. And thats from a protest because in the United States, speaking out and being involved in this form of protest is absolutely essential. But what were also seeing now is that universities like my going to columbia, at yale, and other universities across the country. Were seeing the blurring of the lines between peaceful protest and thats moving into peaceful protests. And now were seeing a violent hate speech towards jewish students, jewish associate with israel, the Zionist Movement and its role. Jin to identify a zionist and so we are seeing this delineation were now the lines are being blurred. So jewish students who may or may not be involved in counterprotest are just simply showing their jewish identities now feel their own safety being compromised at these Univerties Acrs the country parkerwhat is that felt like for you personally when youve experienced those moments that go froperhaps advocacy and thfreedom of expression two, then threats directed, toward you for yo faith it feels almost like a trial because i think people in the Jewish Community will tell you, we will understand what it feels like to be marginalized our ethnic populations and marginalized for thousands of years. And so we will continue to stand with groups that have a marginal lines and the Jewish Community always wants to stand for social advocacy. Thats what we stand for. Weveone a lot of fundraising, whether its with the lgbtqia movement, the blm movement. Weve done a lot with other movements in United States and trying to want to use our own level of experiences and wanting to advocate for other movements as well. And now you see it is in this movement, we want to advocate for keast in the middle east, just like everybody else. We want there not to be war between israel and hamas. We want there to be a ceasefire contingent upon this hostages being released in the hostages in israel were taken on october 7, being returned to their families. We want peace in the middle east, just like everybody else. But it seems that our identities now have become a pawn in this political aim or people can separate our jewish identities from the occurrences and the incidents in the behavior of the Israeli Government and so were being linked together me as a jewish individually and states has no power over the Israeli Government abroad. And now were being linked together and we find ourselves being subject to forms the andaya tim and his m, and thats really, really hard as that you shouldnt. And disheartening, especially because universities were told and are promoted as to be a place where we can participate in civil discourse and we can have critical conversations and foster meaningful learning and challenge our own biases when our once you universities and theres so much tension between these two groups. The protests are becoming so loud that we can have these conversations anymore. And thats the parts its so damaging as jewish students dont, theyll be can participate in these conversations. Parker, i want to ask you you have Speaker Johnson coming to campus amid this what are you hoping to hear from him . And is this the right time for him to be there im hoping for two things. First and foremost, im hoping for Speaker Johnson to understand that antisemitism against jewish individuals is not a political ploy these are our own lived experiences and it shouldnt be used as something to make a political stand or Political Movement because this is jewish state feet. Were talking about. These are our identities are stories shouldnt be by finalized but i think its really important that Speaker Johnsons message is emphasized and rooted in advocacy for the Jewish Community in wanting our utmost safety second of all, i think he should really work into creating Bipartisan Solutions to issues of not only antisemitism, but also other forms of hatred in the United States. Weve seen a rise of antisemitism, especially now, but also rises in a lot of other forms of hatred over the past few years in the United States, i think if this can be anything and serve as an example, it requires our polar politicians and congress to come together in unity to take steps to address this and Bipartisan Solutions. I also hope that key understands that going into this university, i know theres been a lot of call that its expected that hes going to call for the resignation of our University President , minouche shafik. I urge him that if hes calling for president shift each resignation, he understands that its going to create a lot of turmoil within our university the as well. Weve seen numerous University President s like that. If you pan and harbored all being forced to resign. And i think there is this demand. I think if we continue to have University President s resigned and having to put a new person in this position, you have to catch them up over everything thats happening in the past six months. And that requires significant amount of change. We only had three weeks left in the the and so i think rather than asking for University President s to resign, we have to do one thing, request more accountability from our universitys request, more transparency parker, dekker. We very much appreciate you sharing your perspective with us. Thanks for coming on. Thank you so much for having me. We want to give you a look at the situation at Brown University where there has also been attention. Cnns isa hello, four salahs is there for us. Isa will give us an update on what its like there right now hey, boris, unlike what weve seen in some of the other campuses around the nation, the school well here brown says that they have had no reports of any cases of violence harassment, or intimidation, but clearly, the school is unhappy with this encampment that is setup right here on the main lawn because this is in violation of the School Policy right now, theres about 20 or so tense that juswere brought up. This moing about six in the morning with over for 100 throughout the day, chanting, singing, saying from colbia to brown gaza, we will not let you down. And they made it very clear to me that they have to make Juror Demands and that is for brown to divest cut any ties at the school mig have when it comes to financials whether thats connected to the Israeli Government they want those ts to be cut loose. And second, to protect free speech on campus. Theyre asking for 41 stents that were previously back in december, Arrested Ding A sit in for tho charges to be dropped. Now, earlier in the day, we saw the students in a circle right here in the main line. And then we Start University police escorting a School Employee with a machine and they were having each protester one and buy onebyone scanning their ids. Now we know from one of the organizers who has forwarded us an email that they are getting their first real taste of this disciplinary action. Theyve received an email from im the Student Conduct Office indicating that there is a disciplinary case that is being processed against them. That is what they told me the school meanwhile tells cnn that they needed to verify that these are actual students and not outsiders. And this is for safety reasons. I spoke with several organizers that say that they understand very well that they could potentially face an arrest in the future or a suspension or expulsion and say that time will show that they are on the right side of history or spray on a all right. Isabel rosales live for us at brown in providence, rhode island is we are watching these pictures come to us from a number of universities, including ut austin and usc in Southern California stay with us.

Weve just learned that former President Donald Trump is an unindicted coconspirator in the Michigan Attorney generals case against socalled Fake Electors. You might recall last year is 16 republicans were charged with conspiracy need to commit Election Forgery after they allegedly attempted to replace the states electoral votes for President Biden with votes for President Trump. Marshall cohen has been following this story, marshal, walk us through the details here, starting with what being an unindicted coconspirator entails yeah, boris, this is a pretty big deal coming out of michigan, as you mentioned, State Prosecutors there already charged the republicans who were actually Fake Electors in 2020, there was a Pretrial Hearing in the case earlier this morning, and one of the lead investigators in the probe was on on the stand testifying about their investigation. He was asked under oath, who are the other unindicted coconspirators, people who have been implicated in this criminal conspiracy, but are not facing any charges at this time. And he confirmed for the very first time that that list includes former President Donald Trump. Trumps former attorney, Rudy Giuliani trumps Chief Of Staff when he was in the white house, mark meadows, and then finally, jenna ellis, who was a Trump Campaign attorney. What this means is that State Prosecutors in michigan believed that those four people were coconspirators in this Fake Electors plot, though i want to of Course Stress they are not facing charges in michigan at this time.

And some of these protests coincide with the reports of antisemitism and dozens of arrests. As officials face mounting pressure to confront this crisis. Lets talk now, a cnn senior political analyst, mark preston. Mark this columbia visit by Speaker Johnson what is he trying to do here . Is this going to deescalate things or could it have the opposite effect while its certainly not going to deescalate things. But what its doing is that hes sending a message not only to his base, but hes also sending a message to Jewish Voters across the country as well as to the leaders in israel that he stands with them, that he doesnt stand necessarily with these protests that are happening specifically, the antisemitism that weve seen that has sparked out of this the violence that we have seen spark out of this. And in fact, he was this morning, he was on Hugh Hewitt Radio Show when he talked about that specifically, he said for him to go to new york this week was the right thing to do. He also said that he wants to look get into potentially revoking federal funding from some of these schools that are not protecting that jewish students who are on campus. And he also goes as far as to say that he would suggest Revoking Visas for those students who are here on these campuses that are not United States citizens who were protesting do you think this has the potential to backfire on Speaker Johnson . No, not at all. I mean, look, i think at this point i think if you were to take a poll across america and asked people what they think about these protests. Everyone, were just about everyone. You would hope would say they have the right to protest what they dont have the right to do though, with three static about this is to talk about violence, two to true upset folks to target students who are jewish just because of the Foreign Policy decisions of the United States, thats entirely wrong. And i think that its an easy message for johnson today to be sending what about for President Biden . Mark, i mean, where do things stand for him right now is were watching and look at some of these universities. Its towards the end of the year. We should keep that in mind, right . Theyre going into finals and some of these places, but what does this mean for President Biden is we are watching this across all of these College Campuses. I think the calendars on his sayyed in that sense, rionda, youre right. It is towards the end of the school year, youre going to see these campuses probably empty out 80 of them maybe 85 of these kids are gonna go back home. Youre not going to see these widespread protests, certainly that we have seen in the coming months on these College Campuses. I think for President Biden, whos supposed to be in new york this week, i think for him to go to columbia would be a huge mistake i dont know what he brings to it other than bringing more chaos in, more focus on an issue that his administration right now doesnt seem to necessarily have the answer to resolve, nor do i think that maybe his Administration Good have the answer to resolve. This is a much bigger issue than one person to that point, biden has been getting relatively low marks for his handling of the situation, especially among that leftward flank of the democratic party. I want to pivot mark with you because last night was the pennsylvania primary a sizable share of republican primary voters actually cast a ballot for nikki haley, even though former President Trump clinched his partys nomination over a month ago, theres a lot of theres i would say a lack of confidence among those independent voters who are rather just rightleaning voters who opted for haley over trump how does this issue play out amongst republicans in specifically the focus that some voters on the right will happen ive toward President Trump and whether he will best handle the situation overseas. Well, you know, its itchy eyes, so i spoke to one of nikki haleys, someone who is very close to nikki haley. Lets just describe it as that in s what has she been up to . What does she think about the results that we saw last night . Now, what i was told that just in generalities right now is that donald trump right now we should note has not reached out to nikki haley nor has he made any effort to try to reach out to her voters is this person told me just a few hours ago. Nothing has changed for nikki haley but what theyre very surprised about is that trump nor any of his allies have tried to make any headway with these voters. This person said to me, its not about him breaking bread with nikki haley and trying to get her to come in support and its more about him talking about issues that she champion. Thats going to get those voters to support him. And if you look at pennsylvania last night, just to put it in very stark terms for the Trump Campaign nikki haley got 157,000 votes after she had canceled her campaign. A couple of months ago joe biden, 2020, only one pennsylvania by 81,000 votes. Now, im not a mathematician. I failed math in college. Ill tell you all my, all my weaknesses, but i can tell you that you double at one and thats pretty much close to what nikki haley was able to pull out a pennsylvania last night. Thats problem problematic for the Trump Campaign Zombie Campaign that gets that many votes it tells you something.

Im Sunlen Serfaty in washington and this is cnn news out of pardon me, out of arizona and where the House Of Representatives has just voted to overturn the states civil war era abortion law, the law which was passed before arizona was a state and before women had the right to vote bans nearly all abortions with just one exception. And that is to save the life of the mother the repeal now moves to the senate where its expected to pass. Cnns natasha, chinas in phoenix following the story force and the tasha lawmakers tried to do this twice before and failed. What was different this time . A few people just needed an extra week. Apparently, there were a handful of republicans who joined democrats voting along party lines. There to push through this repeal. And as you mentioned now it goes to the senate where it is also expected to pass there also with a little help from republicans for the democrats, im standing now with representative stephanie saw hamilton, the author of the repeal bill, a democrat here who has been pushing for this. It tell me just your initial reaction to today theres a lot of relief. Ive been emotional. Ivan could be my emotions at cheque knowing that we needed to be smart and we needed to be steady and rooted and continue to work hard in order to meet the moment. Did you think this was going to happen today more so than the last two weeks when we showed up, i i was very hopeful id had some good conversations last night that led me to believe that i think we we get there today. Id tell me what was the most difficult part of this process. You heard a lot of emotional debate on the floor. You heard republican kins calling this egregious that theyre disgusted. What do you have to say to your colleagues on the other side i respectfully disagree agree. I think this is something where weve we have been divided my whole time here in the Arizona Legislature and i. Think for me the most difficult piece was knowing that we needed to get the bill on the board and trying to get the votes to work around the speaker thank you so much. It just to let our viewers know that there is also a Ballot Initiative in the works for november that would enshrine Abortion Rights in the states constitution.
