Dozens of protestors have barricaded themselves inside two buildings on a Northern California campus in protest of Israel’s war with Hamas.
Students protest at an encampment outside the Kresge Auditorium on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tuesday, April 23, 2024, in Cambridge, Mass.
“We are not afraid of you!” the protestors chanted before officers in riot gear pushed into them at the building's entrance, video shows. Student Peyton McKinzie said she was walking on campus Monday when she saw police grabbing one woman by the hair, and another student having their head bandaged for an injury.Three students have been arrested, according to a statement from Cal Poly Humboldt, which shutdown the campus until Wednesday.
Yale President Peter Salovey said protesters had declined an offer to end the demonstration and meet with trustees. After several warnings, school officials determined “the situation was no longer safe,” so police cleared the encampment and made arrests. The New York Civil Liberties Union cautioned universities against being too quick to call in law enforcement in a statement Tuesday.
