A temporary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Mark C. Scarsi orders UCLA to prevent alleged antisemitic zones such as the encampments in April that reportedly blocked Jewish students from pa…
Crews clean up the encampment occupied by Palestinian supporters at UCLA on Thursday, May 2, 2024. At around 3:30am law enforcement began arresting the supporters who had been camped out on the quad in front of Royce Hall for about a week. 132 occupiers were taken into custody and clean-up of the area began immediately.
Supporters of the demonstrators have accused officials of ignoring a violent attack on the encampment by counterprotesters on April 30, while being quick to arrest those sympathetic to the Palestinians. Scarsi denied a bid by UCLA to stay the permanent injunction, which goes into effect Thursday. UCLA is expected to appeal the ruling to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The plaintiffs allege the so-called pro-Palestinian zones broke civil rights laws and discriminated against the university’s Jewish students. In the wake of the Hamas attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and the ensuing warfare, pro-Palestinian demonstrations emerged on college campuses nationwide. Attorneys for the plaintiffs alleged in court papers that by allowing the encampment on the Westwood campus, UCLA caused Jewish students and faculty to be barred from accessing parts of the campus “unless they agreed to disavow Israel’s right to exist.
