🇺🇸 PRO-PALESTINIAN CAMP RETURNS TO UCLA, POLICE RESPOND IN RIOT GEAR
Pro-Palestinian protesters set up a new camp at UCLA after 200 arrests at their previous encampment.
More police have arrived with riot gear. LAPD issued a dispersal order at Kerckhoff Hall, warning protesters to leave or be arrested.
The encampment led to building closures and online classes.
The academic workers’ union plans to expand their strike, demanding free speech protections and divestment from companies supporting Israel.
