An anti-ICE protests at Columbia University Thursday resulted in arrests and accusations against the university.

Roughly a dozen people were arrested as student and faculty protesters sat in the middle of the street near the main campus entrance. They had shirts that read "ICE off Campus." Protesters accuse Columbia of suppressing student's speech and not doing enough to stop the detention of student protesters. Columbia says the claims are factually incorrect and that federal agents always require a judicial warrant before being admitted onto school grounds.
