College protests ramp up across the country

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) - Pro-Palestine demonstrations continue at colleges across the country but some of the protests are being called out for antisemitism.

The bill passed its first hurdle in the House Tuesday afternoon.  Shortly afterward, Speaker Mike Johnson said nearly every House committee will play a role to fight antisemitism on college campuses, but Democrats say it's the colleges that need to act.

At Columbia University, pro-Palestine protestors took over a building early Tuesday barricading themselves inside.
