Police have arrested dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters who rallied at Columbia University.

The school asked for the NYPD's help, as the protesters had been camped out on campus for days. Most of those arrested are facing charges like trespassing.

The protesters have been calling on Columbia University to divest from Israel-related businesses.
