As of Wednesday, there were at least 1,641 arrests and counting at 33 colleges and universities in 23 states, with at least three more schools threatening to make arrests and more pro-Hamas encampments cropping up daily.
Schools repeatedly pleaded with the lawless mob before authorizing arrests, and then only a fraction of those involved in the illegal encampments are arrested.
A total of 48 activists were arrested at Yale University, where pro-Hamas demonstrators intimidated Jewish students and struck one in the eye.
Police arrested 33 activists at Indiana University at Bloomington when officers cleared an illegal encampment.
Three activists were arrested at the University of South Florida when the Tampa Bay Students for a Democratic Society held an unauthorized rally.
10 activists were arrested at the University of South Florida after the SDS, the suspended student group, tried to stage another illegal encampment.
Police made arrests at 22 universities from Saturday to Tuesday; in 11 out of 12 instances where the numbers are known, they arrested more outsiders than students.
