New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams said on Wednesday that the anti-Israel protest at Columbia University has been influenced by “outside agitators” who appeared to show that they had been trained. After NYPD officers stormed Hamilton Hall on Columbia’s campus and arrested dozens of protesters who were illegally occupying the building on Tuesday night‚ Adams said in a press conference that authorities were attempting to “distinguish between who were actually students and who were not supposed to be on the grounds‚” The New York Post reported. “There were individuals on the campus who should not have been there. They were people who are professionals and we saw evidence of training‚” Adams said. “I know that there are those who attempting to say‚ ‘Well‚ the majority of people may have been students.’ You don’t have to be the majority to influence and co-op an operation. That is what this is about.” “This is a global problem that young people are being influenced by those who are professionals at radicalizing our children and I’m not going to allow that to happen as the mayor of the city of New York‚” he added. NYPD Deputy Commissioner Tarik Sheppard said on Wednesday that the chains used by anti-Israel protesters to lock themselves in Hamilton Hall are “not what students bring to school.” “This is what professionals bring to campuses and universities‚” Sheppard said. The anti-Israel Columbia protest began nearly two weeks ago‚ with demonstrators setting up tents on the Ivy League school’s grounds and calling for Columbia to divest from Israel as the country fights Hamas. Sheppard added that between 40-50 protesters were arrested on Tuesday night as NYPD officers made their way through Hamilton Hall. “In order for our emergency services group to enter into the building‚ they had to first cut through these chains‚ but also get rid of debris and barricaded doors that were barricaded with refrigerators‚ vending machines‚ chairs‚ you name it‚ they pushed it up against those doors to try to stop us from coming in‚” he said. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP An anti-Israel demonstration has also popped up at City College in New York‚ where police said they arrested an additional 173 protesters on Tuesday night‚ according to the Post. Those arrested at Columbia University and City College face charges ranging from trespass and criminal mischief to burglary.

House Republicans released data on Tuesday showing where hundreds of thousands of inadmissible foreign nationals have flown into the United States after being authorized to travel into the country by the Biden administration under its “mass parole” system.  Under the Department of Homeland Security’s Processes for Cuban‚ Haitian‚ Nicaraguan‚ and Venezuelan (CHNV) parole program‚ the Biden administration has approved over 404‚000 foreign nationals from those countries for entry into the United States. The program ostensibly allows people from these countries to be paroled into the United States to work for up to two years for “humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.” Beneficiaries of the program also need to “arrange and fund their own travel‚” according to DHS.  Documents obtained by Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee show that paroled individuals flew into 50 different airports‚ primarily in the United States. The top two airport destinations were in Florida‚ according to the documents.  Over 91‚000 people flew into Miami‚ while over 60‚000 were flown into Fort Lauderdale. Other top airport locations included New York City (14‚827)‚ Houston (7‚923)‚ Orlando (6‚043)‚ Los Angeles (3‚271)‚ Tampa (3‚237)‚ Dallas (2‚256)‚ San Francisco (2‚052)‚ Atlanta (1‚796)‚ Newark (1‚498)‚ Washington‚ D.C. (1‚472)‚ Chicago (496)‚ Las Vegas (483)‚ and Austin (171). Other people flew into Hawaii‚ the Bahamas‚ Ireland‚ Canada‚ and the Virgin Islands. The numbers only include data from January 2023 until August 2023.  DHS told the committee that the people approved for the program were technically inadmissible. “All individuals paroled into the United States are‚ by definition‚ inadmissible‚ including those paroled under the CHNV Processes‚” the department said.  “Secretary Mayorkas’ CHNV parole program is an unlawful sleight of hand used to hide the worsening border crisis from the American people. Implementing a program that allows otherwise inadmissible aliens to fly directly into the U.S. — not for significant public benefit or urgent humanitarian reasons as the Immigration and Nationality Act mandates — has been proven an impeachable offense‚” said Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green (R-TN).  At the same time‚ DHS has been flying paroled individuals from Cuba‚ Haiti‚ Nicaragua‚ and Venezuela‚ over half of illegal crossings at the southern border during fiscal year 2023 were from those countries‚ according to the committee.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Following our subpoena and the House’s impeachment vote — especially in light of the Senate’s complete failure to fulfill its duty to hold a trial — the Committee will not rest until this administration is finally held accountable for its open-borders agenda and its devastating impact on our homeland security‚” Green added.

While many colleges that have been overtaken by anti-Israel demonstrators have begun cracking down on the encampments and violence‚ Northwestern University has instead caved to protester demands. In a document released Tuesday‚ Northwestern has vowed to make concessions to protesters‚ including five full-ride scholarships for Palestinian students and funding two Palestinian faculty members for two years. The university also said it would commit “to fundraise to sustain this program beyond this current commitment.” The university will also “provide immediate temporary space for [Middle East and North Africa] MENA/Muslim students.” Following that‚ Northwestern said it plans to provide and renovate a house for these students “as soon as practicably possible” after it finishes its current renovation project‚ slated for completion in 2026. The university will include Jewish students in a “process dedicated to ensuring additional support for Jewish and Muslim students within Student Affairs/Religious &; Spiritual Life.” And while the university did not say it would divest from Israeli companies‚ it did say it would re-establish its Advisory Committee on Investment Responsibility‚ allowing students‚ faculty‚ and staff a say in how the school invests its endowment‚ opening a door for those who want to divest from Israel. The university also said it would “answer questions from any internal stakeholder about specific holdings‚ held currently or within the last quarter‚ to the best of its knowledge and to the extent legally possible” within 30 days or provide a reason and timeline for a later response. As for the camp itself‚ Northwestern said it would permit “peaceful demonstrations” on the campus’ Deering Meadow through the end of the spring semester‚ provided such activity adheres to university policies. The school said one aid tent would be allowed to remain in the encampment‚ but all other tents must be removed. In addition‚ protesters may not use bullhorns or any other devices that project or amplify sound unless approved in advance. Only members of the Northwestern community will be allowed in the demonstration area unless authorized by the university. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP However‚ the university said it would “publicly condemn the doxing of any community member and will advise employers not to rescind job offers for students engaging in speech protected by the First Amendment.” In a statement announcing the agreement‚ Northwestern said the agreement “represents a sustainable and de-escalated path forward‚ and enhances the safety of all members of the Northwestern community while providing space for free expression that complies with University rules and policies.” Northwestern also blamed “antisemitic and anti-Muslim/Palestinian” incidents on people not affiliated with the university‚ and said any members of the community “who can be identified participating in such acts will face disciplinary action.” Most of the anti-Israel protesters wear masks to hide their faces. The agreement has been met with condemnations from those who support Israel. The Anti-Defamation League called the agreement “reprehensible.” “The agreement between Northwestern University leadership and encampment organizers is reprehensible‚ dangerous‚ and a case study in failed leadership‚” the organization’s Midwest division said in a statement posted to X. “For days‚ protesters violated campus codes of conduct and policies‚ intentionally fanned the flames of hate and antisemitism‚ and wreaked havoc on campus life. Instead of holding the perpetrators accountable‚ the university rewarded them. It would be unbelievable if it wasn’t true.” Israel’s consulate in Chicago also condemned the agreement in a post on X‚ saying the university “declared itself a safe space for Antisemitism.” “We are appalled by Northwestern’s decision to turn its back on Jewish and Israeli students who have been targets of hateful harassment and intimidation. This decision rewards the pro-terror‚ anti-Israel‚ and anti-America aggressors on campus‚” the consulate wrote. “This appeasement agreement is a dark day in Northwestern history.”

Matt Hilton from Blue Sky Pest Control became an unlikely MVP at the Major League Baseball (MLB) game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the LA Dodgers. Matt went from tee-ball to the major leagues in one day&;#33; He started his day at his son’s tee-ball game. Just as the tee-ball game was getting underway‚ he received an emergency call from Diamondbacks VP of Operations Mike Rock. The big league baseball game at Chase Field was on a bee delay. Matt Hilton works for Blue Sky Pest Control.Last night‚ he was at his son's tee ball game when he got called to remove some bees—a massive swarm delaying Dodgers-Dbacks.A few hours later‚ he was throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at an MLB game.pic.twitter.com/5WlSSdcXzX— Front Office Sports (@FOS) May 1‚ 2024 A swarm of bees had taken up residence on the netting behind home plate. Matt had an escort onto the field like a boss‚ riding in on a golf cart with his gear in hand. He waved to the crowd and got the hero treatment‚ complete with a standing ovation. Setting up quickly‚ he went to work to remove the bees humanely. Chase Field provided a scissor lift to allow Matt to reach the bees. Once the task was complete‚ the fans began chanting‚ “MVP&;#33; MVP&;#33;” The marquee was blazing‚ “Thank you bee guy.” And if all that wasn’t thanks enough for the speedy response to this un-bee-lievable delay‚ Matt even got to throw out the first pitch&;#33; Image from X. Although his 6-year-old son‚ Levi‚ was a bit miffed that his dad left his tee-ball game‚ he did mellow after hearing about his dad’s adventures in the big leagues. He now has bragging rights in school because his dad is famous. Perhaps one day‚ Matt will be watching Levi play at Chase Field. The Bee Delay Ended‚ And The Baseball Game Began After Matt threw out the honorary first pitch‚ the bee delay ended‚ and the announcer called out‚ “Play BALL&;#33;” at 8:35 PM. Kudos to the Diamondback staff‚ the Dodgers‚ and the MLB for acting quickly to protect the fans and players. Matt deserves the MVP award for his heroic performance. He hammed it up for the crowd so they didn’t mind the bees delaying the baseball game as much. This was not the first swarm of bees to interrupt a baseball game‚ and it will probably not be the last. However‚ it is the largest swarm experienced at Chase Stadium. Players and fans greatly appreciated Matt’s quick and efficient cleanup.
