In a letter to the New York City Police Department, Shafik said that students who participated in the protest would be suspended.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a news conference that New York Police had "made more than 108 arrests" in the incident.

He added, "New Yorkers have every right to express their solemn, but that heartbreak does not give you the right to harass others."
