US EditionColumbia suspends over 65 students after pro-Palestinian protest in library
- Columbia University suspended over 65 students and barred 33 others after a pro-Palestinian protest at Butler Library in Manhattan on Wednesday evening.

- New York City police, wearing protective gear, cleared the building at university request and arrested about 80 people, most facing trespassing or disorderly conduct charges.
- The State Department announced it will examine the visa statuses of individuals involved in the protest for potential deportation, while Columbia University remains tight-lipped about the duration of suspensions as investigations continue.
- The suspensions and campus bans reflect ongoing tensions at Columbia, where federal funding was revoked and international students detained over handling protests related to the Gaza conflict.
