Appalling to see Columbia University university bringing in NYPD NEWS to crack down on peaceful protestors, leading to mass arrests, including arrests of legal observers! Peaceful protest is a human right and an invaluable tool to speak truth to power.

.President Biden yesterday's deportation flight to Haiti is unconscionable. No one should be removed back to the violence & serious humanitarian, political and security crisis unfolding in Haiti. Period. The US must halt all removals to Haiti and ensure Haitians have access to protection.

Indigenous Peoples’ rights are human rights ✊
