UC Santa Barbara officials had sent a message to the group, the UCSB Liberated Zone, that the encampment violated university policies.
Dozens of officers removed an encampment of pro-Palestinian protesters from the campus of UC Santa Barbara early Sunday morning, according to videos and social media posts by the protest group. University officials did not respond to calls on Sunday afternoon. Officials had sent a message to the group, which calls itself the UCSB Liberated Zone, that the encampment violated university policies and that the protesters were illegally trespassing.
The police “gave four dispersal notices to campers and then began moving into the encampment,” the protest group said. Later video shows workers throwing tents into a large garbage truck. The group said six protesters had been arrested, but that could not be immediately confirmed with officers Sunday afternoon.
