Police began dismantling a pro-Palestinian encampment early Thursday at DePaul University in Chicago, hours after the school's president told students to leave
In effect from 7 am Thursday to 7 am Friday for the possibility of flooding rain. 1.5 to 3" possible, isolated higher amounts. Chicago police officers keep watch as crews disassemble the pro-Palestinian encampment in the quad at DePaul University 's Lincoln Park campus in Chicago , Thursday, May 16, 2024.
Hein said, however, that two people, a male and female in their 20s, were arrested outside the encampment “for obstruction of traffic.” In a statement then, Manuel and Provost Salma Ghanem said they believe that students intended to protest peacefully, but “the responses to the encampment have inadvertently created public safety issues that put our community at risk.”
Separately, 50 people were arrested at University of California, Irvine on Wednesday, university spokesperson Tom Vasich said in an email on Thursday morning. A few were arrested for trespassing, but a majority were arrested for failure to disperse after a direct police order, Vasich said. The booking process began on campus and those arrested were taken to the Orange County jail, where booking and processing were completed. They were then released, he said.
He said he remained committed to protecting the rights of all community members to express their views.
