Columbia University is basically encircled by a huge police presence. We're received a messages saying "shelter in place." The arrest of demonstrators occupying Hamilton Hall and perhaps others is imminent. Human chain around the building by supporting students.

👀 The drug and weapons trafficker contracted by Indian intel for an assassination in the U.S. did work for them "on operations in Afghanistan and other countries," according to the Washington Post. Wonder if there's a Chabahar angle here.
