How Congress is responding to pro-Palestine protests on US campuses

DENVER (KDVR) — Pro-Palestinian protests continue on college campuses across the U.S. as students spend the final weeks of the semester demonstrating against Israel’s violence in Gaza since the Oct. 7 attacks.

In Denver, 44 people were arrested on the downtown Auraria Campus last week. Students demand university leaders condemn the war in Gaza as genocide and shed light on any of the schools’ investments in Israel.

On this week’s “Colorado Point of View,” political analysts look at the rising tensions and how Congress has responded, including with a bill that addresses antisemitism.

Meanwhile, Ken Buck and Doug Lamborn give “exit interviews” to The New York Times condemning the state of Congress, and Lauren Boebert passes a bill to remove federal gray wolf protections, with Democratic U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo joining in favor.
