Q: Why aren't their face masks stripped off when they're perp-walked to jail (where they’ll be released in seconds)?

I don’t know what good it would do, but if it’s important to these goons to keep their identity hidden from the public, then we shouldn’t accommodate them.
Dozens of masked anti-Israel protesters arrested after storming Columbia library — and Rubio vows to review visa status of ‘pro-Hamas thugs’
Dozens of anti-Israel rabble rousers protesting inside Columbia University’s Butler Library were hauled out by NYPD cops Wednesday — and Secretary of State Marco Rubio vowed to review the visa status of the “pro-Hamas thugs.”
Around 80 agitators were taken into custody Wednesday evening, sources told The Post, as the Ivy League school faced another chaotic day on its Morningside Heights campus that officials said left a pair of school safety officers injured.
Video obtained by The Post showed a line of protesters led out in zip ties by NYPD cops and into waiting police buses.
“We are reviewing the visa status of the trespassers and vandals who took over Columbia University’s library,” Rubio said on X.
The mob of demonstrators initially shoved past a security guard at the library’s front entrance, according to footage of the scene – disrupting students who were attempting to gear up for final exams.
Once inside, they draped large signs over bookshelves, one declaring the library a “liberated zone” and another bearing the name of Bassel al-Araj, a Palestinian activist killed by Israel Defense Forces in a 2017 raid in the West Bank — though they misspelled his first name as “Basel.”
