After a Gaza Solidarity Encampment was set up in the early hours of Wednesday, May 1, protesters from within Fordham and across the city gathered outside Fordham University’s Leon Lowenstein Center. Police presence expanded throughout the afternoon until they arrested the 13 students and 2 alumni remaining in the encampment just before 6 p.m. Our reporters were on the ground. Here’s what they saw.
