Do you realize right now hundreds of thousands of Haitians are waiting for an update on their legal status that ends Feb 3rd unless something changes before then? Students, workers, neighbors, parents, all waiting in fear? Getting emails from HR to renew expiring work authorization? This is torture.

Riot cops did full sweep of the campus not allowing observers to return to their offices. They made everyone exit through a narrow gate. I saw people moving towards the exit arrested for no reason and I saw non-participants forced in to harms way because of the violence outside the gates.
Guns on view. Chancellor overrode campus leadership and ordered full dispersal. Cops in full riot gear.
Whelp. I’m in the faculty line in front of the student encampment. I knew it would happen. My goal is simply to be witness in case of police action. Zip ties are on view.
