As we told you, that demonstration continuing right now as students disregard University Advisory demanding the protest and by 9 00 pm.

Lets get to matt finn whos live with more on this. Reporter we are monitoring those ongoing protests in new york tonight. All this comes after Columbia Universitys president testified before Congress Today about columbias battle against antisemitism. At the same time, antiisrael protesters demonstrated afterschool in a new york and thats happening live tonight. Columbias president testified before the House Committee on education and the workforce today. You may recall the now infamous testimony from the president s of harvard, mit and the University Of Pennsylvania back in december in which they could not say they would definitively punish students calling for the genocide of jews. The president of harvard and you pen later resigned. Today columbias president is being criticized for refusing to say whether the slocan from the river to the c is antisemitic. However in general she took a firmer stand against jewish hate speech in comparison to some of her other Ivy League President s. To begin i would like to clarify something with a simple yes or no question for all of the witnesses. Does calling for the genocide of jews violate columbias code of conduct . Is it does. Reporter and here in southern california, a pro palestinian valedictorian of u. S. He says the school has but trader for canceling her graduation speech, citing increasing antisemitic safety concerns. Usc promoting a link online it says in part the founders of israel were racist zionists and calls for the state of israel to be abolished. She is now writing in a statement, antimuslim and antipalestine voices have subjected me to a campaign of racist hatred because of my uncompromising belief in human rights for all. She says she feels empowered by the backlash. It also energized me though because i know that, you know, what im facing is something that a lot of people have faced and to a much more dangerous extent. Reporter she says she does not apologize for posting the link and insists shes committed to safety for all. Trace we will talk about that. Matt finn live for us. Back to you is the news breaks. We are still watching live protesters. Lets bring in The Law Fair Project ceo who is suing columbia on behalf of one of its jewish students, along with former Israeli Special envoy for combating antisemitism and delegitimization of israel. Thank you for coming on. The president of columbia testified about antisemitism on campus and she clearly did a flipflop. Lets watch this and get your response. Have you seen protests saying we are against jewish people . No. At some of these events, these slurs and the chance have been f the jews, death to jews, f israel. Antijewish things were said it protests, yes. Trace theres the flipflop. For your purposes, brooke, we should note that The Law Fair Project is suing columbia for failing to protect a jewish student and even retaliating against that student. What do we know about that . Thank you so much for having me, trace. Ive spent my entire career fighting antisemitism and as you know, we have several lawsuits against universities throughout the country including Carnegie Mellon university and cooper union. But never in my career have i seen things as horrific as what is going on at Columbia University campus, where pro hamas mobs are running rampant, where jewish students are being harassed, being verbally and physically assaulted. One student had his hand broken. While a conciliatory tone was being struck by the president of the school and some of the Board Of Trustees that were testifying , the question is, what are the consequences . There have been no consequences. There was one professor who was a defendant in our lawsuit. She had a complaint against her, multiple complaints, and the school actually determined she was guilty of antijewish discrimination. What did they do . They put her on sabbatical only to bring her back to discriminate against our second client. There are no consequences at the school. Trace and you look at whats happening here, this is live pictures of Columbia University, we were told it would be done by 9 00. They were threatened with suspension and there they still are. And to you now, noah, 70 of College Jewish students say they have experienced or witnessed antisemitism, and there it is. There it is. Heres the problem. The Hearing We Saw today finally, what can i say, she got better coaching. She was better coached and finally able to say that genocide against jews is hate speech. Thank you so much. That is not how you deal with the problem. What the problem is is the culture on campus. Until we deal with the culture on campus, nothing can end. As long as there are going to be referendums all over campuses in america, as long as Students For Justice In Palestine is allowed on campuses, jewish students are going to continue to feel harassed, marginalized and attacked. We need to deal with the culture on campus, not just with the president s who were better coached today them before. Trace i want to switch over, we will continue watching live pictures but now to the case of the u. S. He student, the valedictorian not being allowed to speak because of calls to abolish the jewish state. She said the following here on cnn. Im not apologetic. I believe in what i believe and it is because of the people around me that ive met at usc. The classes ive taken, the professors ive learned from that have led me to look at the world in this way and its unfortunate that, you know, human rights is controversial. Trace about a minute left, i want to get both you and noahs take on this, brooke, what you think of that case at usc. She just proved exactly what know what just said, that usc basically radicalized her. Look, being a valedictorian at a school is a privilege, not a right. Of course now the council on American Islamic relations, a Muslim Brotherhood front organization, is representing her, this is the same campus that is under investigation for already two and a half years by the department of education. And again, nothing has happened. Trace yep. Noah . She is saying its islamophobia and i have to negate that. Its not islamophobia when you are speaking out against g hot is in. She should not have been invited to begin with. You cannot out the words israel has the right to exist and you cannot condemn hamas, you should not be invited to speak on college campus. Trace know what, brooke, thank you for coming on, we appreciate it. Meantime on capitol hill the Impeachment Trial of Homeland Security secretary over before it began but in new york that followed over the crisis at the southern border continues is more than 1000 migrants rush city hall. Reportedly over false promises of work visas and green cards. Ashley strohmier Live In New York City with new information on this. Good evening. Reporter hello trace. New york city was once again center stage today showing just how overwhelmed some of americas cities ours by the migrant crisis. Over 1000 black asylumseekers from places like guinea and west africa gathered in and outside city hall to protest what they are calling racial inequities in the citys immigrant support systems. Our colors should not determine what service we get in new york city. Because when everyone else comes, they get all the services. What the brothers and sisters are asking, they are asking for help. Reporter that Flashpoint Taking place alongside tensions on capitol hill between republicans and alejandro mayorkas. The effort to impeach him and hold him accountable for failing to secure the border was warily dismissed by the senate today. He claims the border is Congress Problem anyway. Listen. We need congress to pass the Bipartisan Legislation that a group of senators worked on. That is the enduring solution. We cannot change a broken immigration system, only congress. Reporter regardless of who was responsible, big cities have been left to deal with the fallout. Denver city council is considering cutting 41 million from the budget. That includes 8 million from the Police Department to support the migrant response. Democratic mayor Mike Johnston said that would not affect the number of officers deployed on the street. And ice officials confirmed that a haitian migrant accused of killing two room mates in new york was, in fact, paroled into the u. S. After booking an appointment on that controversial cbp one app. Trace one more case. Ashley strohmier live in new york, thank you. Lets bring in the hilt National Politics reporter, New York Post reporter and chicago resident, thank you for coming on. Heres a New York City Public Advocate saying that Illegal Immigrants are not getting what they need. Watch. Im saddened that this administration and some of the things they are doing are hurting black migrants the most. Black migrants have not gotten the Language Access they needed, they havent been able to connect to services. Trace i mean juliet the list keeps getting longer. These Sanctuary Cities have now got to take care of these people even though theyve admitted and literally do not have the resources julia absolutely. I think what youre seeing is a lot of these large cities urban corridors and areas like new york, chicago, the list goes on, they are now really finding out what its like to be a border town and they are really trying to scramble to find the funding or figure out how to use that funding to deal with the crisis. But at the same time it seems like they are really having trouble finding their footing because in a lot of these cities its not just the migrant crisis they are going through, they are also dealing with other issues like homelessness. So its a real issue for them. Trace we are going to talk about that later in the show but you are exactly right. Denver had to cut its city budget, including the Police Department, but newsweek writes the following here, the denver asylumseekers program will help migrants secure housing and Work Authorization for up to six months after they apply for asylum. I think that is insufficient, says willie, an immigrant who helped organize the protest. Denver cannot pay its own bills and these people are demanding more and more. Your thoughts . Welt not only can denver not afford to take care of the migrants that are there, but neither can chicago. That is why our mayor is currently asking the city for an additional 70 million. That they are going to be voting for in city council on friday. Of course the chicago residents are saying no, weve given enough. At some point all of these Sanctuary Cities are going to have to take a step back and say you know what, we may need to rethink this because we dont have the resources to take care of the people that are here. And i think that the federal government also has to look at the border. Biden has to look at the border crisis and he has to step in and provide some kind of executive order. To wait around for congress to come up with some commonsense immigration legislation, we know weve been waiting on that for the past, i dont know how many years. Trace and i think when you look at this whole thing, you look at new york and chicago as you were saying, la, denver, the Public Schools are getting Tens Of Thousands of students, lydia, and they dont know what to do with them. They are short on teachers, they dont have spanishspeaking teachers and its detrimental to the students who are already in the school and test scores could not get much lower. Thats exactly right. What we are seeing is its a zerosum game when it comes to government budget. If you cant, you know, one thing and spend it on immigrants, that hurts your existing people who live in those cities and so unfortunately it is students, veterans, Senior Citizens who are seeing their benefits cut as a result to make the numbers work. In new york we continue to give out 10,000dollar debit cards to immigrants. We have people staying sometimes in 400dollar per night hotels. We sent 4. 3 billion the last two years on housing for immigrants and you have to make the numbers work and so the sad reality is that students are the ones who are facing the consequences. Trace and the problem is that people that these Sanctuary Cities are trying to protect, the underserved, the veterans, you name it, the whole thing is they cant. They dont have the resources and those people are getting crushed in this effort to help everybody else. Absolutely. I think it definitely makes it difficult. Right now i think you are going to sea cities going into election season for example facing real questions. I think voters will be Making Decisions as to whether to reelect some of these officials or what path they want to essentially take forward. Trace do you think it will be a big issue in chicago, this issue is going to be Big Come Election season in chicago . Absolutely. Ive talked about this on this show multiple times. We here in chicago are so despondent with the Democratic Party that i am working to turn chicago red. That is my new goal. Getting more people involved and basically just saying to the Democratic Party that if this is the role wrote you want to continue to go down, we cant go with you. Trace i think they are starting to listen. Lydia, 15 seconds for you to wrap us up. This is going to be impactful. To say the least. This is the number 1 issue that people are concerned about as we are heading into this election cycle. Even though this mayorkas impeachment has not moved forward, i think the conversation we are having a row that is important. Sunlight is the best disinfectant so bringing visibility to the issues and at least getting people to talk about it getting the administration to address it, hopefully that is fresh on peoples minds as we continue. Trace not impeaching mayorkas, this is not a vote of confidence. Not doing your job well does not warrant impeachment sometimes but you are still not doing your job well. Thank you to you all, we appreciate it. No one is above the law [ chanting ] trump is not above the law an ideal juror . Anyone whos fair. Can you share your opinion of the former president. Not a fan. Its difficult for anyone really in the country do not come to this with prior opinions. I think we all have prior opinions about the defendant unless you been living in a Cardboard Box since 2014. Trace the uphill climb for Donald Trumps defense team will continue tomorrow in day three of Jury Selection for his Criminal Hush Money Trial in new york city. Lets bring in the cochair of the America First Policies Institute center for law and justice, former Florida Attorney general. Great to see you as always. The Wall Street Journal says the following. On one of the jurors who was chosen. A married i. T. Consultant who lives in manhattans Lower East Side was among the seven selected.
