BREAKING: Pro-Hamas Students At Columbia Smash Their Way Into An Academic Building, Now Occupy It

Dozens of Pro-Hamas protesters broke into an academic building at Columbia University and took it over early Tuesday morning – hours after the school began suspending students who refused to vacate their encampment.

Footage posted on social media shows numerous protesters milling about inside Hamilton Hall and placing wooden chairs and tables in front of the doors in an apparent attempt to block others from entering.

A photo published by the Columbia Daily Spectator, the student newspaper, shows a masked protester reaching through broken windows to zip-tie the doors shut.

The rogue group who made it inside tossed their belongings on the floor and then immediately began working to barricade themselves inside the building located along the South Lawn, which has been the scene of the school’s anti-Israel encampment for over a week.

The protesters even covered security cameras inside Hamilton Hall with tape and black trash bags, according to the Columbia Daily Spectator.
