"12 Arrested as Chaos Erupts Over Secret Tunnel at Brooklyn Synagogue"

A group of Orthodox students at Brooklyn’s Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters were arrested after attempting to prevent the sealing of a secret tunnel they had dug in an effort to expand the house of worship. The students had been building the tunnel from a closed mikvah to the synagogue, causing structural instability in the building. Synagogue leaders condemned the actions as vandalism and referred to the students as "messianic student extremists." The building is now closed pending a structural safety review, and charges are pending for the arrested students.
