The student, Noam W., joined “NewsNation Live” on Monday. He asked to withhold his full last name, citing security concerns.

“It’s very tense,” he said. “I don’t personally feel safe on campus.”

There have not been any credible threats made to particular groups or individuals coming from the encampment protests, the New York Police Department said.

Columbia University canceled in-person classes Monday. Protesters rallied throughout the weekend at the Ivy League school’s New York City campus. Police last week arrested more than 100 pro-Palestinian demonstrators who had set up an encampment.

“These are violent mobsters who have a lot of rage in them. They want to intimidate Jewish students. They’ve been doing it for the past week, and as a result, Jewish students are now packing up and leaving campus,” Noam W. said.

Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine released a statement Sunday expressing frustration over the news media’s coverage, which they said has focused on “inflammatory individuals who do not represent us.”

“Our members have been misidentified by a politically motivated mob,” the statement read. “We have been doxed in the pres, arrested by the NYPD, and locked out of our homes by the University. We have knowingly put ourselves in danger because we can no longer be complicit in Columbia funneling our tuition dollars and grant funding into companies that profit from death.”

Columbia is just one of the campuses where protests are growing as Israel’s war in Gaza intensifies. Similar demonstrations are taking place at the University of Michigan, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale University.

Yale police officers arrested at least 45 people Monday morning after officials said demonstrators refused to leave.

A sheriff in one of the busiest immigration sectors says he’s seeing more crossings and noticeably fewer resources.

Terrell County Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland says his officers are feeling the absence of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star between El Paso and Del Rio as resources are being shifted to the El Paso sector to respond to an increase in migrant crossings.

“Texas decided to send more personnel out El Paso to help bolster that portion of the border,” said Cleveland. “And a lot of that personnel came from Sanderson and Terrell County. And that's had an effect on us because now we're starting to pick up again, and we just don't have the resources here to assist Border Patrol.”

Cleveland told NewsNation that they would normally have about 15 officers working day shifts but that is now down to about three to four people a day.

Cleveland said he relies heavily on state and federal partners as he’s responsible for 2,300 square miles of border-area territory. At current staffing, his department is only able to intercept about 50% of individuals who have crossed the border into Terrell County.

Texas Department of Public Safety Lt. Chris Olivarez said limited resources aren’t unique to Terrell County.

“That's what makes it very challenging with this whole border situation,” he said. “We're trying to cover as much ground as we can in Texas. And of course, Texas is very large. We cover the majority of the border in Texas but trying to be in every single area and once really is impossible. But the fact is that we do have the majority of our resources dedicated to areas where we see increased activity.”
