moments as police confronted protesters after tearing down tents, officers in riot gear marching onto campus, surrounding and arresting protesters who refused to leave. protests also cropping up at brown and harvard, where students protesting the war in gaza are demanding the university divest from israel. precious blood at columbia, where this wave of israel-hamas war protests began last week, the clock is ticking down to tonight's deadline to end the protests on campus. >> myself, my peers, my colleagues, my friends. we're not going to stop. we're not going to rest. we will stand here until the university divests from israeli apartheid and their genocidal campaign in gaza. >> protests have been marred by anti-semitic hate speech and violence driven in some cases, officials say, by outside non-student agitators. one officer was assaulted with a water jug at cal poly humboldt in northern california. that school now closed through the weekend. house speaker mike johnson is threatening to pull federal funding for schools that

don't create safe environments for jewish students. he visited columbia yesterday. we just can't allow this kind of hatred and anti-semitism to flourish on our campuses. >> they have chased down jewish students. they have mocked them in the reviled them. they have shouted racial epithets. >> johnson later speaking with our linsey davis. >> but for people who are just saying we simply don't like the way the palestinians are being treated and killed, that's a different conversation. >> have that conversation, have a debate. we believe in the free expression of ideas and the free marketplace of ideas. that is not what is happening here. they've encamped on the campus. they are threatening people with their lives, and they're preventing them from exercising their freedom. that's the limit. that's the line. >> johnson also suggested the national guard could be used, if needed, to break up the protests. the white house said it condemns anti-semitism, but said free speech on college campuses is important. >> the other big story this morning new indictments and a so-called fake elector scheme after the 2020 election, former president trump is named as an unindicted coconspirator. abc's

em nguyen has the details on this am. good morning rhiannon. >> good morning. yeah. arizona is now the fourth state where allies of former president trump have been charged with trying to keep him in power. this morning, seven attorneys or aides affiliated with former president trump appear to be indicted in arizona over alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. in that state. they include rudy giuliani, mark meadows, attorney john eastman, and christina bobb. the republican national committee senior counsel for election integrity. the indictment makes references to those affiliated with trump but does not name them. arizona's attorney general says the names will be unredacted after each is served. the indictment. >> arizona's election was free and fair. the people of arizona elected president biden, unwilling to accept this fact. the defendants charged by the state grand jury allegedly schemed to prevent the lawful

transfer of the presidency. >> the indictment does name 11 alleged fake electors accused of submitting a document to congress, falsely declaring that trump had won arizona. the charges include fraud, forgery and conspiracy. trump is named as unindicted coconspirator one in the case, which claims trump and his allies schemed to prevent the lawful transfer of the presidency. see, the trump campaign calls the indictment another example of democrats weaponization of the legal system. trump was also named an unindicted coconspirator in michigan, where 16 republicans are charged with illegally trying to replace electoral votes for biden with electoral votes for trump. meanwhile, today, the supreme court hears arguments over whether trump can be prosecuted in his federal election interference case stemming from the january 6th riot. trump argues he has absolute immunity over criminal prosecution for any official acts as president on the

that, just like with civil immunity, presidents need to be able to do their jobs without worrying about being sued. >> presidents need to be able to do their jobs without worrying about being indicted. and so he's raised this primarily in the january six case. >> the supreme court's decision could have implications on some of trump's other cases as well. >> what's at stake is, first of all, the various cases pending against donald trump in which he's raised the question of criminal immunity. that includes all three of those that are not gone to trial. the january 6th case, the mar-a-lago case, and the georgia case. because for all of those, for at least part of the time, he was president, while arguments are heard at the supreme court, former president trump will be in a new york courtroom for his hush money trial. >> former national enquirer publisher david pecker will be back on the stand. >> andrew m, thank you. house lawmakers in arizona have voted to repeal a near-total ban on

abortions after three republicans crossed party lines to pass the bill. it now heads to the state senate. if the law, which dates all the way back to 1864, is repealed, arizona will revert to a 15 week abortion ban. meanwhile, the supreme court yesterday heard arguments on whether federal law can override state abortion bans if a woman's health is at risk. the justices appeared divided. a ruling is expected in june. >> now to your money in the airline industry responding to new rules from the biden administration that would force the airlines to pay you back in cash when you face bad delays or cancellations. here's abc's andrea fujii. >> this morning airlines are fighting back against new rules that will soon require them to refund passengers for certain flights that are canceled or delayed. the u.s. transportation department announced the new policy yesterday that will require airlines give automatic cash refunds within seven days. when a flight is canceled for any reason, delayed by more than three hours for domestic travel

and more than six hours for international travel. or if the airline changes any of your airports, adds connections or downgrades your seat. >> i think for, you know, the average flier, it'd be really good beneficial holding the airlines more accountable under current regulations, the airlines decide how long a delay must last before triggering refunds. >> transportation secretary pete buttigieg says that era is over. >> this isn't just about enforcing when something goes wrong, it's making it less likely something would go wrong in the first place. >> but the trade group representing the airlines argues customer satisfaction and air travel are at an all time high and airfares are at an all time low when adjusted for inflation. they say refund complaints have fallen sharply since 2020, with $43 billion in refunds since then and they argue this new policy will add confusion for consumers, reduction in choice and a decline in competition, which historically drives up prices. the biden administration argues otherwise.

>> this will build confidence in air travel at a time when airlines need to do more to secure passengers trust, and there are more ways to get a refund if your checked luggage isn't delivered within 12 hours. >> for your domestic travel or your wi-fi doesn't work on the flight. airlines have six months to comply with the new rules. rhiannon. andrew. >> andrea, thank you for that. a milestone today in baltimore, a new shipping channel is opening where the wreckage of the francis scott key bridge used to be. it will reopen the city's port to 80% of the vessel traffic it handled before last month's bridge collapse. the next challenge is freeing the cargo ship that hit the bridge by cutting 5000 tons of steel. >> time now for your thursday weather. this a freight train that derailed about 200 miles west of dallas, texas, during a storm. winds up to 60 miles an hour, blew the cars off the rails, but no one

was hurt. more severe storms are expected across texas and into the plains tonight through friday, and a second system this weekend could bring damaging winds, hail, and tornadoes from texas to chicago. checking today's high temperatures 50s in the northeast and upper midwest, 70s and 80s in the south, 94 in south texas fight to lower the price of a popular weight loss drug. >> also ahead, a life saving transplant like no other. the groundbreaking procedure that just saved a dying grandmother, and later, the eight year old and her violin on the world stage after a long day...
