Students had pitched tents on New York City campus, demanding ceasefire and for the school to financially divest from Israel

Isra Hirsi, the daughter of the Minnesota Democratic representative Ilhan Omar was among more than 100 protesters arrested on Thursday on Columbia University's campus in New York City, as police were called in to break up those who pitched tents to stage a pro-Palestinian protest.

Further demonstrations protesting the arrests and the university's decision to call in outside law enforcement continued into the night at the private Ivy League school.
