OUR FOLLOWING BREAKING NEWS RIGHT NOW AS THERE’S PROTESTS ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES NATIONWIDE, INCLUDING RIGHT HERE AT HOME. DOZENS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, INCLUDING SWAT TEAMS, POURED ONTO TULANE’S CAMPUS. UH, THE ISSUES THAT WE’RE SEEING THERE, WE HAVE DRAMATIC VIDEOS OF SWAT OFFICERS SURROUNDING AN ENCAMPMENT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE PROTESTING IN SUPPORT OF FREEING PALESTINE. LET’S GO STRAIGHT RIGHT TO WDSU REPORTER NAEEM SIDDIQUI, WHO IS LIVE FOR US ON CAMPUS IN ANUM. WHAT ARE YOU SEEING RIGHT NOW. DARRYL AND MORGAN THAT MORE THAN 24 HOUR PRO-PALESTINE ENCAMPMENT IS NOW OVER. TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF. CREWS ARE CLEARING OUT WHERE STUDENTS WERE ONCE SLEEPING HERE SINCE MONDAY. PRETTY FAST. THOSE 10 TO 15 TENTS ARE NOW GONE. PROTESTERS ALSO HAD MAKESHIFT BARRICADES WITH PALLETS AND TIRES. YOU SEE THOSE ITEMS CURBSIDE READY TO BE THROWN OUT. NOW, NEW ORLEANS POLICE TELL US THAT 14 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED. THE INDEPENDENT POLICE MONITOR FOR THE CITY SAY THE ARREST WAS MADE POSSIBLE BECAUSE TULANE CALLS THIS AN UNLAWFUL PROTEST. AND OUR VIDEO SHOWS SEVERAL PEOPLE ARRESTED ON PUBLIC PROPERTY HERE ON THE SAINT CHARLES NEUTRAL GROUND. NOW, PROTESTERS SAY POLICE ARRIVED ON CAMPUS JUST BEFORE 3 A.M. THINGS GOT INTENSE FAST. OF COURSE, IT WAS VERY SCARY SITUATION WITH MORE THAN 100 OFFICERS PRESENT FACE TO FACE WITH PROTESTERS. UM, NOW, NOPD CHIEF KIRKPATRICK SAYS THE DEPARTMENT HAD BEEN WORKING WITH TULANE TO FIGURE OUT THE MOST PEACEFUL WAY POSSIBLE TO CLEAR THE ENCAMPMENT. TAKE A LISTEN. WE WANTED PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE VOICE AND YET NOT CREATE A VIOLATION OF THE LAW. THIS IS PROTECTED PROPERTY. WE WANTED TO GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO PEACEFULLY REMOVE THEMSELVES AND NOT VIOLATE THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS, AS WELL. NOW, JUST FOR SOME BACKGROUND, AGAIN, LIKE THE CHIEF MENTIONED, TULANE URGED STUDENTS TO REMOVE THEMSELVES FROM THE ENCAMPMENT ON MONDAY. SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED AND WE KNOW SOME STUDENTS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED. AND LET’S ALSO TALK ABOUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING THEN. CAMDEN IS PART OF A NATIONAL MOVEMENT OF STUDENTS ASKING THEIR UNIVERSITIES TO CUT ANY TIES WITH ISRAEL. OF COURSE, THAT INCLUDING TULANE AND LOYOLA STUDENTS DARRYL AND MORGAN, MORGAN AND ANUM. I KNOW YOU GAVE US A GREAT LIVE LOOK A LITTLE WHILE AGO. ARE THERE STILL SOME OF THOSE PROTESTERS ACTIVELY ON CAMPUS? I KNOW YOU SAID, SOME OF THEM VOWING NOT TO LEAVE. BASICALLY RIGHT. THOSE PROTESTS AKERS IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN CLEARED OUT AND I JUST SPOKE WITH ONE. I ASKED HIM, WHAT’S NEXT? HE SAYS, OF COURSE THEY’RE GOING TO KEEP URGING TULANE TO CUT ANY TIES WITH ISRAEL. BUT RIGHT NOW THEIR PRIORITY IS GET THOSE PEOPLE THAT WERE ARRESTED OUT OF JAIL. ALL RIGHT. ANUM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR KEEPING US UPDATED ON THAT SCENE. WE’LL GET ANOTHER CHECK WITH YOU IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES. BUT WE DO WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU CAN STAY UPDATED ON THIS PROTEST ON AND NEAR TULANE’S CAMPUS. AND REALLY ACROSS THE COUNTRY. YOU’LL FIND THOSE UPDATES ON AIR AND ONLINE. THAT’S ON OUR WEBSITE, WDSU DOT COM. AND ALSO THAT FREE WDSU MOBILE APP. ABSOLUTELY, KURT, TIME IS 532. LET’S TURN THINGS OVER NOW TO WEATHER BIG THING RIGHT NOW FOR FOLKS IS THE LACK OF VISIBILITY IN SOME PARTS OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. YEAH, THERE IS A DENSE FOG ADVISORY THIS MORNING. LET’S GET STRAIGHT TO METEOROLOGIST DAMON SINGLETON FOR A CHECK. YOUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER, DAMON. HOW IS THAT FOG LOOKING RIGHT NOW? IT’S LOOKING ABOUT THE SAME AND THE SAME AREAS. THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY COVERS ALL THE SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA, HANCOCK AND PEARL RIVER COUNTIES. IT ACTUALLY LOOKS PRETTY GOOD IN THIS PICTURE, BUT YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THAT FOG IN THIS PICTURE AS WELL. AND THE VISIBILITY AS YOU CAN SEE IS LOW ZERO OVER IN BOOTHVILLE AND IN PORT FOURCHON AND IN HOUMA AS WELL BELLE CHASSE THE VISIBILITY HAS FALLEN TO ONE MILE THERE. AND IF YOU HEADED EAST ON I-10, THE VISIBILITY IN GULFPORT IS ONE MILE. AND IN BILOXI THE VISIBILITY IS AT TWO MILES. SO YOU’RE GOING TO RUN INTO SOME ISSUES WITH VISIBILITY ACROSS ACROSS THE SOUTH SHORE AND THE MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST, ESPECIALLY THIS MORNING. THE RADAR PICTURE OTHERWISE IS NICE AND CLEAR. YOUR TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE ARE PRETTY OKAY. THEY’RE MILD FOR THE MOST PART. THE HUMIDITY IS A LITTLE MORE NOTICEABLE TODAY ON THE NORTH SHORE, SOME UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S DOWN HERE ON THE SOUTH SHORE, A GOOD MIX OF 60S AND SOME LOW 70S. AND HERE’S A LOOK AT YOUR HOUR BY HOUR FORECAST FOR US DOWN HERE ON THE SOUTH SHORE. I’M EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO RISE INTO THE MID 70S THIS AFTERNOON. AND IT FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES MAY BE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER, NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN TERMS OF RAINFALL FOR TODAY, BUT AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR TWO IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE. HEY, WHEN I COME BACK, I’M GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHEN THE RAINFALL WILL RETURN. AND DAMON, YOU’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT DENSE FOG ADVISORY. I WANT TO GIVE YOU A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE. HERE’S OUR CAMERA. I-10 NEAR OAK HARBOR, DEALING WITH SOME VISIBILITY ISSUES ALONG THIS STRETCH OF I-10. SO KEEP IN MIND, AS YOU’RE TRAVELING DOWN TO IRISH BAYOU, YOU DO WANT TO, OF COURSE, ALTHOUGH NOT SEEING A LOT OF CONGESTION OUT THERE. INCREASE YOUR FOLLOWING DISTANCE AND GIVE YOURSELF A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA TIME, BECAUSE WE DEFINITELY WANT TO KEEP YOU SAFE OUT THERE. LET’S GO AND TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT THE MAP AS YOU’RE HEADING OUT. GOING TO START OVER IN SLIDELL. SO WE’RE RELATIVELY QUIET ACROSS THE TWIN SPAN THIS MORNING. AS YOU DO TRAVEL BETWEEN SLIDELL AND THE DOWNTOWN AREA. ABOUT EIGHT 31 MINUTE RIDE AS YOU TRAVEL ON THE WESTBOUND SIDE. DO WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT SOME CONSTRUCTION THAT STARTS TODAY AROUND SEVEN THIS MORNING. YOU WILL SEE ALTERNATING LANE CLOSURES ALONG I-10 BETWEEN 510 AND THE LAKE. IT STARTS AROUND 7 A.M. THIS MORNING AND GOES UNTIL ABOUT 5 P.M., AND IT WILL BE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS ALONG I-10. SO EXPECT A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA CONGESTION THERE AS DRIVERS ARE GETTING USED TO THAT NEW TRAFFIC SYSTEM BUILDING. THERE AS YOU TRAVEL WESTBOUND FROM RIGHT TO THE FLYOVER 12 MINUTES IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AND LIVE. LOOK AT OUR CAMERA. I-10 NEAR LUIS. STILL RELATIVELY QUIET AS YOU’RE TRAVELING BETWEEN NEW ORLEANS EAST INTO GENTILLY, AND THEN TO THE DOWNTOWN NEW ORLEANS AREA. STILL DEALING WITH THAT CONTINUOUS RIGHT LANE CLOSURE WESTBOUND ON THE CRESCENT CITY CONNECTION, AS WELL AS THE TWO EXCUSE ME, AS WELL AS THE TCHOUPITOULAS ON RAMP DUE TO THAT DECORATIVE LIGHTING PROJECT THAT’S HAPPENING WITH DOTD AND THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS, THAT WILL GO UNTIL ABOUT MID-JULY, AND THEN THEY WILL START ON THE LEFT LANE. SO JUST GETTING USED TO THAT IS GOING TO BE THE NEW TREND THERE. WESTBOUND ON TEN FROM METAIRIE OVER TO THE AIRPORT. CLEAR SAILING, SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF RED ON THE MAP. IF YOU’RE TRAVELING ALONG AIRLINE AND METAIRIE HAVEN’T SEEN REPORTS OF ANY ACCIDENTS, BUT I WILL KEEP AN EYE ON IT FOR YOU. DARRYL. ALL RIGHT, DEJA, THANK YOU SO MUCH, KURT. TIME IS 535 AND THE NEW ORLEANS POLICE DEPARTMENT’S PLAN TO RELOCATE FROM ITS MID-CITY LOCATION IS NOW HAPPENING, BUT THERE’S NO TIMELINE FOR WHEN. YEAH, THE CITY COUNCIL SIGNED A LEASE AGREEMENT YESTERDAY, GREENLIGHTING THE MOVE FROM MID-CITY TO DOWNTOWN INSIDE THE DXC TECHNOLOGY BUILDING. AND IT FOLLOWS MONTHS OF CONVERSATION ABOUT THE REALLY DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS OF THE CURRENT HEADQUARTERS. THE CITY SAYS THIS MOVE WILL COST $12 MILLION A YEAR, AND THAT MONEY WILL COME FROM THE GENERAL FUND. NOW, THE LEASE ALLOWS THE CITY TO USE THREE FLOORS OF THE BUILDING FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS, BUT THEY COULD CANCEL THE LEASE AT ANY MOMENT WITHOUT PENALTY IF THEY FIND A BUILDING. A PERMANENT BUILDING FOR THEIR HEADQUARTERS AND OPD SUPERINTENDENT ANNE KIRKPATRICK HAS CALLED CONDITIONS AT THEIR CURRENT BUILDING UNSAFE, WITH REPORTS OF RATS, MOLD AND OTHER CONCERN. AS YOU KNOW, EMPLOYEES HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO PROVIDE SAFE AND HEALTHY WORK ENVIRONMENTS FOR THEIR STAFF, AND SO THANK YOU FOR MEETING THAT ISSUE AS WELL. I MEANTIME, THE CITY SAYS IT HOPES TO HAVE AN ACTIVE SALE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WHERE A NEW PUBLIC SAFETY WAREHOUSE THAT’S THE FORMER CHIQUITA BANANA HEADQUARTERS NEXT TO THE EMS BUILDING. THEY HOPE TO MOVE IT BEFORE HURRICANE SEASON. IN JEFFERSON PARISH, A METAIRIE WOMAN PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO DRUG CHARGES. MARIE ZELAYA WAS ARRESTED IN MARCH AFTER DEPUTIES SAY HER SEVEN YEAR-OLD CHILD HAD COCAINE WITH HIM AT SCHOOL. JPSO SAYS THEY FOUND THE COCAINE IN FOUR BAGS INSIDE THE CHILD’S CUBBY AT JESSE ELLIS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THE NEXT COURT DATE IS SCHEDULED FOR JUNE AND DARRYL HAPPENING TODAY IN BATON ROUGE. LAWMAKERS WILL DISCUSS LEGISLATION THAT AIMS TO REWRITE OUR STATE’S CONSTITUTION, AND WITH A REPUBLICAN SUPERMAJORITY IN THE STATE HOUSE, THIS MEASURE IS POISED TO BE APPROVED. BUT RIGHT NOW, IT’S UNCLEAR WHAT SUPPORTERS, INCLUDING GOVERNOR JEFF LANDRY, THINK SHOULD BE IN THE NEW CONSTITUTION HOUSE LEADERS INDICATED LAST WEEK THAT MEMBERS NEEDED UNTIL NEXT WEEK TO VET THE PLAN TO CONVENE A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION ON MAY 20TH THAT WOULD RUN CONCURRENTLY WITH THE FINAL TWO WEEKS OF THE REGULAR LEGISLATIVE SESSION. ALSO IN BATON ROUGE, HUNDREDS OF LOUISIANA ENERGY WORKERS WILL GATHER WITH EDUCATORS, EXPERTS, BUSINESS LEADERS AND LEGISLATORS AT THE CAPITOL PARK MUSEUM FOR GROW LOUISIANA’S COALITION ANNUAL ENERGY EVENT, INDUSTRY DAY. THE EVENT IS THIS YEAR FOCUSED ON LOUISIANA’S. $100 BILLION ENERGY POTENTIAL, WITH MORE THAN A DOZEN INTERACTIVE SESSIONS EXPLORING EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES AND COASTAL PROTECTION. LOUISIANA’S OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY ALREADY HAS. $73 BILLION IMPACT ON THE STATE’S ECONOMY, AND ACCORDING TO LOUISIANA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, EXPANDING INTO NEW AREAS LIKE OFFSHORE WIND OR BIOFUELS IS CREATING AN ADDITIONAL $30 BILLION IN NEW CAPITAL INVESTMENTS AND 10,000 NEW JOBS. IT TAKES PLACE TODAY FROM 4 P.M. TO 7 P.M. THE TIME IS 538. WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THAT BREAKING NEWS. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK FROM THE ENCAMPMENT ON TULANE’S CAMPUS THAT IS BEIN
