MANHATTAN, N.Y. (PIX11) – A show of support Sunday for Columbia University student protesters from the New School University.

They set up a “liberated zone” on campus in solidarity with those who rallied at Columbia’s pro-Palestine demonstration last week.

Tents and banners painted with slogans propped up in the university’s building on West 12th Street.

More than a hundred Columbia students were arrested Thursday during their protest, and three more were reportedly arrested on Saturday.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams sent a post on social media about the situation:

“The NYPD has an increased presence of officers situated around the campus to protect students and all New Yorkers on public streets, and they stand ready to respond if a request is made by the university, like was done this past Thursday,” Adams said on social media.
