Lawsuit against CUNY for failing to protect the public from a dangerous pro-Hamas encampment

“The protestors beat him for carrying an American flag.”

RAD is financially supporting Dhillon Law Group in litigation against the City University of New York (CUNY) for negligently enabling violence by a pro-Hamas mob. Dhillon Law Group filed a claim in the New York Court of Claims on April 24, 2025.

In April 2024, documentarian Ami Horowitz was attacked by radical terrorism supporters occupying an unlawful encampment at a CUNY campus. The protestors mobbed and beat him for carrying an American flag. CUNY negligently refused to take any action to stop the protestors or protect the public from the danger it knew they posed.

Dhillon Law Group and RAD seek justice against CUNY to hold it accountable for dangerously ceding control of a publicly-funded campus to violent Hamas supporters.

This litigation puts schools across the nation on notice that they will be held liable for failing to protect the public from pro-Hamas mobs on their campuses.
