Multiple people were arrested during Pro-Palestine protests at the University of Texas in Austin. The demonstration is part of a larger trend on college campuses across the country.The Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed 34 people were arrested during a pro-Palestine protest at the University of Texas campus on Wednesday.
The school's paper, The Daily Texan, reported roughly 50 state troopers were seen in riot gear and issued a two-minute warning for protesters to disperse. The protest quickly drew the ire of Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who posted online, "These protesters belong in jail. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period."As the day wore on and the number of arrests surged, many moved from the UT campus to the Travis County Jail, where they stood vigil into the late evening, calling for all of those arrested to be released.
