A pair of House Republicans are questioning why the D.C. Metro Police Department refuses to clear out the pro-Palestinian encampments on the George Washington University campus.
Stickers and Palestininan flags cover a statue of George Washington at an encampment by students protesting against the Israel-Hamas war at George Washington University on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, in Washington.
“It is deeply disturbing that while GWU has attempted to take concrete measures to protect the safety of Jewish student body from persecution and harassment, they are hindered by the MPD’s refusal to provide assistance clearing out the encampment, over fears of public criticism,” says the letter, which was addressed to Mayor Muriel Bowser and Chief Pamela Smith.
Ms. Foxx and Mr. Comer take issue with the police department and mayor not doing anything to end the protest, especially after non-university attendees joined the protest and breached barricades put up by the police.
