Police broke up the last remaining pro-Palestinian encampment on a New York City campus at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
The encampment at FIT began on April 25. Some NYPD officers were wearing riot gear while others wore their standard uniform. The scene was reminiscent of what we saw over the past week as police cleared demonstrations and encampments at universities and colleges across the city including NYU, The New School, and Columbia University.
