Cornell student Patrick Dai's mugshot reveals alleged ties to Hamas ahead of court appearance

Patrick Dai, a self-identified "Hamas fighter" and Cornell University junior, is set to appear in federal court after being arrested for making online threats to kill Jews and carry out a mass shooting on campus. The arrest has left Jewish students at Cornell feeling terrified and unsafe, as they have also faced antisemitism from professors and pro-Hamas demonstrations on campus. The threats have taken a toll on students' mental health, and they criticize the university for spreading propaganda against Israel. Cornell officials condemn the threats and promise to maintain heightened security on campus.
