Police in riot gear staged a pre-dawn raid on a pro-Palestinian housing encampment at University of California, Los Angeles.
Dozens of protesters were taken into custody in zip ties and the encampment was reduced to rubble. Wooden boards set up at the premises were dismantled, tents were flipped over and trash and debris were laid out across the lawn. California Highway Patrol said over 130 students were arrested, and law enforcement did experience some resistance.
Police had raided the area for about two hours. They lobbed flash-bangs, which produce loud noise and bright light to stun people, and also used rubber bullets on some occasions to fire at protesters.
