Protests in the USA / New York police arrest dozens of pro-Palestinians, they

New York police raided one of the halls of Columbia University filled with pro-Palestinian students who had been holed up inside.

Activists occupied the Hamilton Hall building nearly 24 hours ago amid two weeks of campus protests over the Israel-Gaza war, according to CNN.

About 50 students were arrested and left the building, US media reports.

Live footage showed a long line of police in riot gear climbing into the building through a second-floor window, using ladders.

Other officers fanned out across campus, holding back crowds of other protesters and onlookers, some of whom chanted, "Shame, shame!"

Officers were seen leading handcuffed protesters to police buses outside the gates of the Ivy League campus in upper Manhattan.

Columbia students have protested their university's investments with Israel and placed a banner over the building renaming it Hall of the Hinds after a six-year-old Palestinian girl, Hind Rajab, who was killed in Gaza in February.

University administrators had previously threatened to expel students in the building.

Columbia University has been the focal point of student protests about the war — demonstrations have spread to universities across the country in the past two weeks and hundreds have been arrested.
