Pro-Palestinian protesters inside New York City's Fordham University face a deadline to vacate today. Similar to Columbia University, the protesters set up an encampment inside a university building. Last night, police forcibly removed protesters from a Columbia hall after they took control of the building 20 hours earlier. This is just the latest incident of protesters disrupting colleges nationwide.        The Arizona state Senate has repealed a Civil War-era abortion ban. Two Republicans joined Democrats to pass the proposal. The 1864 law that banned nearly all abortions was revived by the state's Supreme Court last month. The bill now heads to Governor Katie Hobbs' desk to be signed.        The Federal Reserve is leaving interest rates unchanged. This comes as officials have expressed they want to be more confident inflation is coming down before cutting rates. The central bank has said its goal is to get inflation down to two-percent. Interest rates have remained at their highest in more than two decades since July.        Former President Trump is holding campaign rallies today after a warning of jail time if he violates his gag order. The judge in his New York hush-money case ruled yesterday Trump violated his gag order when he talked about witnesses in the case, and warned him of jail if he does it again. Court is in recess today, and Trump is using the time to hold rallies in the swing-states of Wisconsin and Michigan.        The national average for a gallon of regular gas is up slightly today. Triple A reports it's at three-dollars-and-66-cents a gallon. That's the same price from a week ago, but 13 cents more than a month ago. California drivers continue to pay the most at the pump, with an average price of five-38 a gallon.        The action-comedy "The Fall Guy" is expected to make more than 30-million-dollars when it debuts this weekend. The film stars Ryan Gosling as a former stuntman to work on a big movie being directed by his ex. This go wrong when the star of the film goes missing and Gosling's character is sent to locate him.
