Around 100 people gathered on the south lawn of UT Austin’s campus that day, setting up tents and blankets to begin an encampment.
Seventy-nine people were arrested and charged with criminal trespassing during the April 29 pro-Palestinian protests on the UT Austin campus.
Travis County Attorney Delia Garza announced the news on Wednesday. She said her office received 79 cases for criminal trespass, a misdemeanor, related to the April 29 protests. "We respect the law and are deeply disappointed by the County Attorney’s actions," Mike Rosen, a spokesperson for UT Austin, said in an emailed statement."The University will continue to use the law enforcement and administrative tools at our disposal to maintain safety and operational continuity for our 53,000 students who come to campus to learn, regardless of whether the criminal justice system shares this commitment.
Protesters stood with linked arms on the lawn. Police pulled them apart and arrested dozens of people, including UT students.who were arrested on April 24 because there wasn’t enough probable cause. The April 29 arrests did not have similar deficiencies, Garza said previously, and added that her office would need more time to review them.
