But a substantial number of protesters stayed behind, apparently resigning themselves to being arrested in the name of their cause. Police methodically began detaining protesters one at a time, using zip-ties to secure their hands behind their backs then walking them out of the area to be processed and eventually loaded into sheriff’s department buses.There was no immediate word on any injuries to officers or protesters suffered during the operation.
The hospital and health system will remain open. UCLA Extension classes will continue, except for those scheduled on the UCLA campus, which will “either be moved to other locations or online.”
