The University of Southern California requested for Los Angeles police to arrest agitators in a large anti-Israel protest on campus for trespassing after they refused to leave the area.
The University of Southern California announced its campus will remain closed 'until further notice' following a large anti-Israel protest on Wednesday that ended with 93 arrested. The Los Angeles Police Department arrived at campus around 4 p.m. after agitators refused to follow the university's request to leave the area, Capt. Kelly Muniz said on X, formerly Twitter, Wednesday night.
Guzman wrapped up the letter by reminding students that USC 'reject speech that is hateful and that causes harm to others.' 'In these challenging times, we call on the Trojan Family to remember that every member of our community is deserving of respect, has the right to be safe on campus, take classes, and participate in other campus activities without fear of harassment or bullying. It should be everyone’s priority to treat each other with kindness and care,' he wrote.
