Officers from the New York City Police Department (NYPD) restored the American flag on the City College of New York campus after it was replaced with a Palestinian flag by protesters.

NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry applauded the move, sharing footage of the moment the US flag was hoisted back up on X.

“An incredible scene and a proud moment as we have assisted [City College New York] in restoring order on campus, culminating in raising Old Glory once again on their campus flagpole,” he wrote.

Gaza protesters have taken over college campuses across the US in recent days.
