UCLA Pro-Palestinian Protesters Clash with Police Amid Congressional Hearing
TL;DR
Police swiftly dismantled a pro-Palestinian protest encampment at UCLA, which had blocked access to a campus building and prompted a tactical alert. The demonstrators, demanding UCLA divest from interests in Israel, continued their protest elsewhere on campus. Minor scuffles occurred, but no major disturbances were reported. The action coincided with a congressional hearing on campus protests, where UCLA's Chancellor testified about the challenges of balancing free speech and campus safety.
