This is in solidarity with propalestinian protesters who have recently been arrested at other universities. A man is at the live desk with that reggie. The demonstrators are set up what theyre calling a free palestine encampment or organizers say the group has three demands. First, they want the uc berkeley. They want the university to end what its calling the universitys quote, silence in the palestinian genocide in gaza. Theyre also calling on the university to divest from corporations involved with the israelhamas conflict. And lastly, they are asking for better protection for palestinian, arab and muslim students. This issue is often miscommunicated as a sort of Campus Culture war that pits student against student on the basis of identity and that couldnt be further from the truth. This is a movement rooted in solidarity, in antiracism and antiimperialism. Because thats what were witnessing in gaza. Uc berkeley released this statement about how it will handle the tents in front of sproul hall saying, quote, we will take the steps necessary to ensure the protest does not disrupt the universitys operations. The protesters say they have no plans to leave until their demands are met. The bay areas Jewish CommunityRelations Council posted to x, saying in part while their words are abhorrent, the protesters at uc berkeley have a right to free speech and assembly and no violence or obstruction has yet been reported back to you at the desk.

Overnight, tensions boiling over as propalestinian protests spread to more College Campuses from coast to coast. You have been warned by New York University to leave the area police in riot gear, dismantling this encampment at New York University, arresting multiple people accused of ignoring a deadline to disperse police and the school, describing disorderly, disruptive and antagonizing behavior that has interfered with the safety and security of our community at nearby Columbia University, where protests are entering a sixth day, a proisraeli assistant professor said he was not allowed to enter campus where protesters have gathered but was allowed access to his Business School down the street. The professor later posting earlier today, Columbia University refused to let me onto campus. Why . Because they cannot protect my safety as a jewish professor. This is 1938. After more than 100 arrests last week, a new encampment is growing at columbia, escalating concerns about security. Student groups like those at other colleges and universities, are demanding columbia divest from companies that do business with israel. But critics highlight antisemitic hate speech. Among the demonstrators, there were people outside of campus one time with signs that said death to all jews. That is awful, and nobody should be having to experience that. A big name donor, new England Patriots owner robert kraft, now pulling support for the university. Kraft saying, im no longer confident that columbia can protect its students and staff overnight. Columbia announcing classes for the rest of the semester will be hybrid due to the security concerns. Yesterday at yale, dozens of arrests for a protest there and across the country.

Lionel moise abc news, new york a federal judge has ordered Alameda CountyDistrict Attorney pamela price to review all Death Penalty cases handled by the das office , and the reason is prosecutors may have wrongfully worked to systematically exclude black and jewish jurors. Abc seven News Reporter lena howland here with a look at the evidence and lena, they found notes from decades ago. Kumasi. Thats right. The das office says they found old notes from a case of a black man sentenced to death nearly three years, three decades ago, that suggests prosecutors might have systematically prevented black and jewish people from serving as jurors on Death Penalty cases. The thought behind it was apparently those groups of people were seen as more likely to oppose the Death Penalty. The order to review all Death Penalty cases countywide coming after the judge reviewed the case of ernest dikes, who was sentenced to death in 1995 for the murder of a nine year old boy during a robbery. District attorney pamela price says shes identified 35 total cases that need review, but wasnt able to specify how long. Going through all 35 of those cases will take. But legal experts say depending on whats found, the outcomes for some of these cases could change. The suggestion is that this jury Selection Process was so tainted that that you may have to give some of these individuals an actual new trial. This is not about left or right or any kind of politics. This is about ethics. Price says her office is now in the process of contacting the family of every victim who was impacted in a case that resulted in a Death Penalty conviction. If the investigation finds other instances of bias, pricess prices office will work with the federal judge to decide how to remedy the situation. Live in studio lena howland, abc seven news.
