Pro-Palestinian activists set up barricades and built a new encampment Thursday morning at UCLA, and the LAPD issued a citywide tactical alert as the situation unfolded.
House Republicans summoned the leaders of UCLA, Northwestern University and Rutgers University to testify about concessions they gave to pro-Palestinian protesters to end demonstrations on their campus.Pro-Palestinian activists set up barricades and built a new encampment Thursday morning at UCLA, and the Los Angeles Police Department issued a tactical alert as the apparently peaceful situation unfolded at the Westwood campus.
News video from the scene showed security taking up positions around the burgeoning encampment. Although campus police are the lead agency at the university, the LAPD went on a citywide tactical alert as the encampment began to grow. The alert enables the department to keep officers on duty beyond their shifts in response to an emergency situation.
Earlier Thursday, Block sent a message to the UCLA community saying the university this week is "initiating a broad-based review to address reports of antisemitic and anti-Arab or Islamophobic discrimination and harassment that may have interfered with students* abilities to access the university's educational programs and activities. We will retain an outside firm to support our Civil Rights Office's review of these issues.
