I’m a professor at CUNY School of Law. I'm calling on Félix V. Matos Rodríguez to affirm amnesty for all students & workers arrested when you gave the NYPD the okay to break up the Gaza encampment & for CUNY not to participate in the DA ’s prosecution. Tell the DA to drop the charges.

He doesn't oppose a Rafah ground invasion. He's supplying it.
