Those set to return for their hearings also include Cornell student Malcolm Sanborn-Hum, who was arrested on Enfield Street off Baum Boulevard while objecting to the sudden disappearance of another protester, who was shoved into an unmarked brown sedan by a pair of men in camo fatigues and driven away.
