FREUDIAN SLIP: Dementia Joe Refers to Illegal Aliens as ‘Voters,’ Says Speaking Spanish is America’s ‘Future’
by Ben Kew21 Comments
Joe Biden has had another Freudian slip.
In an interview with a Spanish radio show, Biden described Hispanic
illegal immigrants as “voters” before reverting back to the official
script.
“It’s even a bigger influx now in terms of Hispanic voters, or
Hispanic – Hispanic citizens, who want to become citizens,” Biden said.
He continued:
The Hispanic community is part of the
future of America. Twenty-eight out of every 100 students in school
speak Spanish, the idea that you’re gonna ignore that? That’s our
future. One of the reasons that we’re growing so much is we have a
significant influx of immigrants coming into our country, only reason
our economy’s so good. We’re not a xenophobic nation. Other nations are,
we’re not, that’s why our economy is the best in the world.
Fox News managed to draw comment from the White House, who repeated the lie that illegal aliens do not vote in federal elections.
“Only American citizens can vote in
federal elections,” a White House spokesperson said. “As fact checkers
across the board have made clear, it is already illegal for noncitizens
to vote in federal elections.”
As extensively reported
by The Gateway Pundit, the presence and participation of foreign
citizens on U.S. voter rolls is one of the main methods of Democratic
voter fraud.
Democrats and left-wing activists are
overwhelmingly in favor of giving a pathway to citizenship to illegal
migrants in the hope that they will reward them with political loyalty.
This is broadly the case, although recent elections and polling data indicates that Hispanic voters, particularly those who entered the country legally, are increasingly moving towards the Republican Party.
Postal Worked Robbed By Gunpoint in California in Broad Daylight (Video)
by Margaret Flavin14 CommentsImage: Video Screenshot
On Monday, a 63-year-old female mail carrier was robbed at gunpoint by two thugs while delivering mail in Dublin, California.
Surveillance video of the incident shows the carrier, who has worked
for the U.S. Postal Service for 33 years, delivering mail in a quiet
residential neighborhood around 4:30 p.m. when suddenly a masked man
emerges behind her.
A second masked individual follows closely behind.
Suddenly, a masked man comes up behind the mail carrier, followed by a
second person who is also masked and the two masked men pull a gun.
KTVC reports:
“Somebody came up behind me and ‘boom,’ just hit me ,and
put a gun to my head,” said the female postal carrier who asked not to
be identified.”He said, ‘Give me your keys. You don’t want to die, do
you?’ I go no, no, no. So I reached in, got my keys, and he goes,
‘Where’s your phone? You got two minutes’.”
The worker went to the mail truck to get her phone and handed it to the armed robber while fearing the worst.
She said,”On my god, I’m going to die.”
But the two men ran away after taking the keys to mailboxes and the truck, along with her cell phone.
She went to a neighbor for help in calling 911.
The USPS is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

Ohio State Graduates Suffer Through ‘The Worst Commencement Address in the History of Commencement Addresses’
by Mike Landry, The Western Journal135 Comments
Having been a university professor, I’ve been to a lot of commencement ceremonies.
With our campus in a poor, semi-rural area, it was especially moving
to see students who were not only the first in their family to get a
college degree, but the first to have even graduated from high school.
Sometimes it was boring, but it never got old. It was routine for me,
but for some graduates and their families, it was an event of a
lifetime.
Which makes what happened with the speaker at The Ohio State University’s recent spring commencement especially grievous.
You see, Chris Pan thought it was all about only him. Perhaps he hoped to promote himself as a professional speaker or guru.
Worse, Pan wrote his speech while high on the psychedelic drug ayahuasca, according to The Columbus Dispatch. He reportedly said he also sought help from ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence.
It showed.
Beginning the university’s commencement address, Pan — an OSU
graduate and Harvard MBA who worked for PepsiCo and Facebook before
launching a jewelry business — noted the usual things about hard work,
late-night studying, achievement and such.
He led students in applauding the support of their families in their accomplishments.
I’ve heard all this before — many times. It’s standard commencement fare, but meaningful for those graduating and their loved ones.
But then the crowd at Ohio State — and the rest of us via X — heard things that were novel.
No, not novel. Bizarre. And completely inappropriate.
Pan called on the crowd to stand and join with him in a song, complete with prepared lyrics projected on a screen.
And hand motions. Lots of hand motions. And breathing exercises — got to have breathing exercises at graduation.
Having, he said, properly gotten everyone in the right state of mind,
Pan then gave the old parable about blind men perceiving different
aspects of an elephant (trunk as a snake, side as a wall, tail as rope).
No problem with that to make a point.
Then Pan said (and imagine the uproar if he did this in a Christian context) “My goal today is to share new perspectives that will lead you to financial, emotional and spiritual freedom.”
He then talked about money and government policies. In promoting Bitcoin, he called on university President Walter Carter to be his assistant, and did a magic trick, changing quarters into Bitcoin.
Ba-da-BOOM.
Pan explained his self-therapy on emotional health through singing, and talked of spiritual aspects of making one’s soul grow.
As music began to play, he led the crowd in a meditation session/TED
talk about a person they might admire and how one can change one’s life.
He then told the crowd he would make a free bracelet from his company
available to each of them “as an apology for listening to me talk about
Bitcoin,”) the Dispatch reported.
Pan finally moved to what might be considered a traditional
commencement speech, with admonitions on learning forgiveness,
compassion, resilience and tolerance.
He hearkened back to the elephant parable to talk about how tolerance
allows people to hold multiple perspectives, especially in gatherings
among those of different cultures, and how inner peace results in world
peace.
Usual commencement topics.
But then, back to the music (Pan drank from a coffee cup with the
price tag still on it), more on breathing, and an encouragement to learn
from others with different perspectives.
Overall, Pan provided some appropriate statements about perspective and harmony.
Despite Pan’s talents and creativity, there are some ways of
presenting material that don’t fit at something like commencement.
Especially if they come from being high and from using artificial
intelligence.
Earlier versions of his speech posted online talked of the current
conflict in the Middle East and called for him to remove his shirt.
Thankfully, he did neither.
And perhaps Pan’s motive for his little production was contained in
his statement that he would be willing to be your teaching assistant for
life.
Followed, of course, by a slide of his contact information and website.
Meaning, it seems like Pan’s little show was really about him.
And of it, Kevin McMahon of Townhall posted on X: “The worst commencement address in the history of commencement addresses.”
“Scarf Lady” Dr. Deborah Birx Now Says Thousands of Americans Could Be Vaccine Injured by the COVID Shot (VIDEO)
by Jim Hᴏft3 CommentsCredit: News Nation
Dr. Deborah Birx, the former White House coronavirus response
coordinator who destroyed the country along with Dr. Anthony Fauci,
suggested that thousands of Americans could be suffering from
vaccine-related injuries due to the experimental COVID-19 shots.
Cuomo opened the discussion with Birx by addressing AstraZeneca’s withdrawal of its COVID-19 vaccine from the U.S. market.
“Doc, AstraZeneca made a headline today, pulling the vaccine. They
say it’s because the demand curve isn’t there anymore. Others suggest
it’s due to the inferiority of their product. What’s your take?”
“They were very effective for what they were supposed to be used for,
which was preventing severe disease and hospitalization or deaths.
That’s what the vaccines were studied to do in this country, and that’s
what they did,” Birx answered.
This is a blatant lie. The COVID-19 vaccines were initially presented
to the public as a way to provide immunity and stop the spread of the
virus. However, as vaccinated individuals continued to contract
COVID-19, it became apparent that the vaccines weren’t producing
immunity as expected.
In September 2021, almost a year after Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) approval, the CDC altered its definition of vaccines and vaccination.
At the time the Covid-19 vaccines were developed and studied, the
definition of vaccines was clear. According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), a vaccine was defined as “a product that
stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific
disease, protecting the person from that disease.” Vaccination was
defined as “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce
immunity to a specific disease.”
Rather than admit the Covid vaccine is not working as advertised, CDC
took a page out of Orwell’s 1984 and opted for new spin language.
The new definition of a vaccine is “a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.”
Note the subtle but important change. Instead of “PRODUCING IMMUNITY”
the new definition moves the goal posts and states that their pseudo
vaccine “STIMULATES THE BODY’S IMMUNE RESPONSE.”
When Cuomo questioned whether there was reluctance to acknowledge
vaccine injuries due to fear of damaging public trust, Birx responded,
“That’s why we need all the people to come forward that have had
reactions because I’m not sure all of them have been reported. Do I
think it’s millions? No. Could it be thousands? Yes.”
“You and I both remember what happened during HIV. Hiv had a lot of
misinformation, a lot of confusion, and it’s like we didn’t learn from
that,” Birx added.
Dr. Birx seems to overlook the actions of her colleague, Dr. Anthony Fauci, during the AIDS crisis in the 1980s.
At that time, Dr. Fauci made public claims that suggested children could contract AIDS
through casual contact, a statement that significantly heightened
public fear and stigma towards the gay community and those suffering
from the disease. Moreover, Dr. Fauci has been accused of withholding effective treatments from AIDS patients as thousands died, focusing instead on the pursuit of a vaccine that never materialized.

Disgraced Ex-CNN Anchor
Chris Cuomo Now Admits to Taking Ivermectin Daily — Refuses to Apologize
for Shaming People Who Didn’t Take the Experimental Shot
by Jim Hᴏft170 Comments
Credit: PBD/Youtube
In a recent episode of the PBD Podcast, hosted by Patrick Bet-David
(PBD) along with co-hosts Adam Sosnick, Tom Ellsworth, and Vincent
Oshana, former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo made admissions about his health
regimen and stance on the COVID-19 vaccines.
The episode saw Cuomo confront his past criticisms of vaccine skeptics as he now embraces a treatment he once scorned.
During the discussion, Bet-David showed a resurfaced clip from 2021
in which Cuomo criticized Rep. Byron Donalds for his decision not to get
vaccinated against COVID-19. In the clip, Cuomo chastised Donalds for
allegedly neglecting public health responsibilities, stating:
“Everybody should know that about you, Byron Donalds. You are not
telling people to get vaccinated. You are not pushing it. You are not
saying it’s the right choice. You’re saying you’re not doing it, and
your family is not doing it, and you’re leaving out of the equation that
you can make other people sick as if that doesn’t matter. Okay?”
In response, Donalds defended his position, asserting that
vaccination is a personal choice and he should not be berated for making
that decision.
“If you want to be protected from these variants and the original
strain, please go get vaccinated. What about protect other people? I
promote you to do that,” Donalds emphasized. “But if there are Americans
like myself who choose not to, please don’t berate me for doing that.
That is a personal choice I have made with my own health care.”
“I did talk to a couple of doctors that I know about it. I told them.
“I already had it, and I’m 42. What do you think?” They said, “Yeah,
you’re fine. If that’s what you want to do, go ahead and do it.” They
didn’t come and say, “No, you have to do it because of everybody else.”
Because if other people want to be protected, they have access to
vaccines. Go get the vaccine. I would never tell anybody not to get
vaccinated. I do totally support it if that’s what somebody chooses to
do,” Donalds added.
Despite Donalds’ rationale, Cuomo remained firm in his criticism,
suggesting Donalds’ stance was “dumb as a proxy for being bold.”
Fast forward to the PBD Podcast interview, Cuomo reflected on how his
views have evolved since then, admitting that he now regularly takes
ivermectin. He acknowledged that the medical community had unfairly
dismissed the drug.
“I am taking a… What do they call it? Like a regular dose, whatever.
They’re trying to build up of ivermectin. Ivermectin was a boogie man
early on in COVID.”
Elon Announces Free Energy For All...
Cuomo went on to express frustration over the misinformation
surrounding ivermectin and the failure to provide accurate information
to the public. He criticized government officials for stifling open
dialogue.
“We were given bad information about Ivermectin. The real question
is, why? Everyone’s going to say, ‘Joe Rogan was right.’ But that’s not
what matters. What matters is the entire clinical community knew that
Ivermectin couldn’t hurt you. They knew it. I know they knew it. How do I
know? Because now I’m doing nothing but talking to these clinicians
who, at the time, were overwhelmed by COVID, and they weren’t saying
anything. Not that they were hiding anything, but it’s cheap, it’s not
owned by anybody, and it’s used as an anti-microbial, antiviral in all
of these different ways. It has been for a long time.”
Ironically, Cuomo was one of those spreading misinformation about Ivermectin during the pandemic.
WATCH:
When confronted with his past criticism of those who refused the
vaccine, Cuomo refused to apologize, insisting that he was only relaying
the best practices provided by government officials at the time:
“Apology? Of course not. Byron Donalds comes on my show. I believe as
a leader at that time, you had a duty to be thorough in what you were
putting out there as opposed to just playing politics. This was never as
simple as vaccine good, vaccine bad. Politics made it that.”
Flashback, here’s a video of Chris Cuomo calling millions of unvaccinated Americans the “biggest enemy in America.”
WATCH:
Chris Cuomo won’t even apologize for labeling
unvaccinated Americans were “our biggest enemy in America” when he was
100% in the wrong.
It’s safe to say the things he’s saying now, so he’s saying them — and expecting plaudits for bravery.
Nope.pic.twitter.com/C0PohbsnuT
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) May 8, 2024
His ego is way to big for him to apologize. Cuomo further defended
his past positions, maintaining that the vaccine significantly reduced
hospitalizations and serious COVID-19 cases.
“The data is overwhelming that when the vaccine entered our
population, the people going into the hospital with very serious or
eventually terminal cases was reduced,” he said. “Now, at what cost and
why? We don’t know.”
Despite his admissions and evolving views, Cuomo remained resolute in
not fully aligning with those who questioned the COVID-19 vaccine’s
efficacy from the beginning. Instead, he placed the blame on government
and political leaders for the misinformation and lack of transparency
that has fueled public distrust.
“My concern is that the unknowns are now more dangerous than the
knowns,” Cuomo noted, urging further investigation into adverse vaccine
effects.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the disgraced former CNN anchor disclosed for the first time that he has been suffering from side effects he attributes to the COVID-19 vaccine.
While Cuomo did not specify the exact nature of his symptoms, he expressed concern about ongoing abnormalities in his health.
Judge in Mar-a-Lago Raid Case Postpones Trial Indefinitely After Jack Smith Caught Tampering with Evidence
by Joe Hoft
In
response to Jack Smith got caught tampering with evidence in the
Mar-a-Lago raid, Judge Cannon has postponed the trial date
indefinitely.
Jack Smith and Merrick Garland’s corrupt
DOJ was caught tampering with evidence in the Trump Mar-a-Lago raid
case. This was reported previously by TGP and this site. The entire
case was a setup by the Biden/Obama gang. Many experts believe that the
entire raid was to steal documents from President Trump that he legally
took with him after leaving the White House.
Based on this evidence that the judge wanted the DOJ to unredact and provide to the Trump team and the public, the judge is now postponing the case indefinitely. The judge presiding over the case
against President Donald Trump involving allegations surrounding
classified documents indefinitely postponed the trial date Tuesday.
Judge
Cannon should be recommending criminal indictments for those involved
in this case at the DOJ and Biden/Obama White House.
Can you believe she is talking this crap and IDIOTS are believing???
WAYNE ROOT: My Warning to
President Trump: This Crisis & Chaos in America is All About Obama.
Get Ready for What’s Coming Next. Hint: Michelle Obama.
by Assistant Editor174 CommentsFormer first lady Michelle Obama speaks on Jay Shetty’s podcast “On Purpose.” (Jay Shetty Podcast / YouTube screen shot)
By Wayne Allyn Root
Let’s put two and two together.
Start with what’s happening in America at this very moment.
The anarchy on college campuses. That’s not brain-dead Biden. It’s
all Obama. Why do you think it’s all centered around Columbia
University?
This all started at Columbia University, Class of 1983. I’m a
witness. We were taught to hate America and support socialism and
communism. Even back then, all my Columbia classmates wanted “Death to
America.” We were taught “Cloward-Piven”- the plan to destroy America,
the US economy, the great American middle class, and of course,
capitalism.
The weaponization of government and persecution of President Trump. That’s not brain-dead Biden. It’s all Obama.
That all started with Obama’s presidency. Obama used the NSA and CIA
to spy on Trump and then frame Trump with fake “Russian Collusion.” Just
like the fake trial going on in New York right now. Take note President
Trump. This is Obama going after you.
Obama also used the IRS to try to destroy his critics and opponents. I’m a witness. I was one of Obama’s victims.
Obama used the IRS to try to destroy my life. The IRS was his
personal goon squad. Obama used the IRS to threaten, intimidate and
terrorize conservatives and conservative non-profits.
When I went public and exposed Obama on Fox News, guess what happened
next? Hundreds of GOP donors who had written checks to Mitt Romney’s
campaign, contacted me to say they were also victims of IRS attacks only
days after writing a check to Romney. You know what this means?
Obama used the IRS to rig the 2012 presidential race.
That was when the rigging and stealing of presidential campaigns
begun. Take note President Trump. Trust me, it was Obama who came up
with the plan to rig and steal your 2020 election.
How about the massive spending, welfare and debt that is crushing the
US economy and producing the worst inflation in modern history. That’s
not brain-dead Biden. That all started under Obama too. That’s all
“Cloward-Piven.”
The open border and the mass foreign invasion of America. That’s not brain-dead Biden. It’s all Obama.
The border was first opened under Obama. People have short memories.
It was so bad back then, I was the opening speaker for candidate Trump
at the last Trump rally before the 2016 election. I warned…
“If Hillary wins, it will be the third term of Obama. He will finish
the job. Obama will open the border like never before. It will be open
borders on STEROIDS. He will wave millions of criminals, gangbangers,
radical Islamic terrorists, and military-age males from our enemies
across the globe into the USA. Between the crime, welfare, spending,
debt and terrorism, we will never recover. And mark my words, millions
of illegals will be allowed to vote, and no Republican will ever be
elected president again. America will fall.”
No truer words were ever spoken.
It’s all happened exactly as I warned. Except Trump interrupted the
plan, so it came four years later. Everything I predicted is happening
right now.
The list goes on and on. DEI. CRT. ESG. Green New Deal. Transgender
brainwashing. This split with Israel. All of this started under Obama.
For all intents and purposes, Obama is the real President of the
United States. He’s giving the orders. He’s coordinating this chaos and
crisis.
I know my old college classmate, better than anyone in the world. I
know how he plays the game. I’ve correctly warned about and predicted
every move he’s made since 2009.
Leo Hohmann: Backlash Growing Against Biden Plans to Import Tens of Thousands of Palestinian Refugees
by Leo Hohmann30 Comments
This article originally appeared on Leo Hohmann’s Substack and was republished with permission.
The backlash is growing against Democrat plans to import tens of
thousands of Hamas-supporting, Jew-hating Gazans into American cities
and towns as so-called refugees.
A group of 35 Republican senators led by Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa has published an open letter petitioning
the Biden White House to halt plans to accept Gazan refugees into the
United States, citing national security concerns. This many Senators
don’t sign anything unless they are getting swamped with letters and
phone calls from their constituents.
The senators expressed dire concerns over potential terrorist connections within the refugee population from Gaza. In a letter dated May 1, they argued that the administration should suspend these plans until further scrutiny and security measures are assured.
The letter states:
“Your
administration’s reported plan to accept Gazan refugees poses a
national security risk to the United States. With more than a third of
Gazans supporting the Hamas militants, we are not confident that your
administration can adequately vet this high-risk population for
terrorist ties and sympathies before admitting them into the United
States. We are further worried that accepting Gazan refugees might cause
a crisis at the Egypt-Gaza border, leading to chaos that would only
empower Iran-backed Hamas. We are also frustrated that your
administration is pushing ahead with a plan to evacuate Gazans from the
Strip when there are still American citizens held hostage by Hamas.”
The call for action follows a CBS News report from
April 30, which indicated that the Biden administration is considering
the resettlement of Palestinians from Gaza who have family ties to
American citizens or U.S. permanent residents. This would mean that the
majority of the Palestinians would be bound for the Detroit and Dearborn
metro areas of Michigan, a key battleground state in presidential
elections.
The senators’ letter highlighted the complicated security dynamics in
Gaza, noting Hamas’s control over the area and the limited access of
U.S. officials for vetting purposes. They expressed concerns about the
integrity of the vetting process, given the current political influence
in Gaza.
ADVERTISEMENT
A Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research poll conducted in
March showed strong local support for Hamas, complicating the narrative
around the Gazan refugees. According to the poll, 71% of Palestinians
in Gaza endorsed Hamas’s actions in an attack on Israel on October 7th,
and 52% of Gazans supported the continuation of Hamas’s governance.
This Biden plan sounds to me like a great favor to Netanyahu, who you
will remember said after the October 7 slaughter of nearly 1,200
Israelis that he was going to “eliminate” Hamas completely from his
country’s borders. Since he was unable or unwilling to eliminate Hamas
militarily, he is simply going to ship the bulk of them to America and
transfer his terrorism problem to the good ole U.S. of A., and the America-last Biden administration is encouraging it!
America already has an anti-semitism problem, as evidenced by what’s
been occurring on university campuses over the last several weeks. All
we need are more soldiers brought in to fill the ranks of the military
wing of the Democrat Party, which basically consists of Antifa and other
leftist groups combining forces with the Muslim Brotherhood and other
Islamic groups here in America.
More Democrat soldiers means more chaos on the streets of America
leading up to the 2024 election and beyond, guaranteed. But don’t kid
yourself, there are many Republicans who love refugees too because they
see them as cheap labor for their corporate buddies on Wall Street.
I’m glad to see a sizable group of GOP Senators standing up to Biden
on this issue, but it may be nothing more than lip service so they can
cover their behinds and say “we told you so” when it blows up in our
faces.
Do you think this backlash from the Senators will stop the Biden
White House from going through with its wicked plans to bring tens of
thousands, potentially hundreds of thousands, of radical Jew-hating,
Hamas-supporting Palestinian jihadists to America? Remember, this hatred
goes way back. The Grand Mufti of Palestine was a big supporter of
Adolf Hitler and the Nazis during World War II. Anyone who says the
Palestinians have it out for the Jews just because they “stole their
land” in 1948 is not looking at the complete historical record with a
critical eye.
Palestinian chidren are taught in school and at Hamas-sponsored summer camps to hate Jews and to murder them. Sounds like they would fit right in on the campuses of Columbia, Harvard and UCLA.
This hatred pre-dates the creation of the Israeli state. Let me know your views in the comments below.

NYPD gives chilling update after 56 arrested at NYU, New School: 'There's somebody behind this movement'
'There is some organization behind this movement,' said NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry

after New York Police Department officers broke up an anti-Israel
encampment. (FNTV)
Officers from the New York Police Department went to two different universities on Friday morning to clear out anti-Israel agitators and break up demonstrations they held on campus.
Officers
first cleared an encampment at New York University, where they arrested
several protesters and called cleaning crews to the area to remove
tents and sweep away the trash left behind by the protesters. The NYPD
was then called to take similar actions at The New School in New York.
After the operations, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell spoke to reporters
to confirm the NYPD took the actions "at the request of school
presidents" and ultimately arrested 56 people, with no incidents,
between both schools.
NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz
Daughtry also spoke to reporters, saying there is "somebody" or "some
organization" behind the massive movement where students and other
protesters are taking over schools and academic buildings, chanting
antisemitic slogans, resisting law enforcement and administrators’
orders to disperse, and getting away with little to no consequences.
"I
just want to say, and I said it before, there's somebody behind this
movement," Daughtry said. "There is some organization behind this
movement. The level of organization that we're seeing in both of these
schools and at Columbia."

The deputy commissioner said officers found leaflets with "all the details" provided to the protesters.
"There
are leaflets on how to protest leaflets or how to commit civil
disobedience. There are leaflets on what to do when you get arrested,
leaflets on what to say to police," Daughtry explained.
He reiterated: "There is somebody funding this. There is somebody radicalizing our students."
During the remarks, the NYPD said that "99%" of those arrested on Friday were students.(Stephanie Keith/Getty Images)
During the remarks, the police chief noted that "99%" of those arrested on Friday were students.
Chell then read one piece of literature that urged students to "occupy the occupiers."
"Enter
the temporary autonomous zone from New York to Gaza," another said.
"Disrupt. Reclaim. Destroy Zionist business interests everywhere."
"Long live the intifada," read another.
"So this is the mindset of some of these protests for sure," Chell added.

The
NYPD chief of patrol also said responding officers gave the protesters
at NYU "multiple options" for them to "leave peacefully" and clear the
scene without being arrested.
"A couple said, I want to be arrested," Chell said. "And we said, okay."
The
chief also clarified that the operation was not a "raid," like what
protesters and protesters experienced at the University of California,
Los Angeles.
More than 2,000 protesters have been arrested at colleges and universities across the U.S. in recent weeks.(Stephanie Keith/Getty Images)
"The
two college presidents in writing requested what they needed, what they
wanted, and I wouldn't call it a raid," Chell said. "I would call it
the removal of kids who were trespassing. That's what I would call it."

than 2,000 protesters have been arrested at colleges and universities
