Police have swept through campuses across the U.S. in response to protests calling on universities to stop doing business with Israel.
Pro-Palestinian protesters reinforce barricades around their encampment on the University of California, Los Angeles campus in Los Angeles, Tuesday, April 30, 2024. LOS ANGELES — Dueling groups of protesters clashed Wednesday at the University of California, Los Angeles, grappling in fistfights and shoving, kicking and using sticks to beat one another.
The clashes at UCLA took place around a tent encampment built by pro-Palestinian protesters, who erected barricades and plywood for protection — while counter-protesters tried to pull them down. People threw chairs and at one point a group piled on a person who lay on the ground, kicking and beating them with sticks until others pulled them out of the scrum.
New York City police enter an upper floor of Hamilton Hall on the Columbia University campus using a tactical vehicle, in New York Tuesday, April 30, 2024, after a building was taken over by protesters earlier Tuesday. Late that same day, New York City officers entered Columbia’s campus after the university requested help, according to a statement released by a spokesperson.
Police spokesman Carlos Nieves said he had no immediate reports of any injuries. The arrests occurred after protesters shrugged off an earlier ultimatum to abandon the encampment Monday or be suspended, and they unfolded as other universities stepped up efforts to end demonstrations that were inspired by Columbia.
