Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein was among the dozens of people who were arrested during an anti-Israel protest at the St. Louis campus of Washington University on Saturday evening.
Local NBC affiliate KSDK reported that Stein, the far-Left Jewish political figure who has supported the BDS movement targeting Israel, spent six hours in police custody and was released at around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday morning.
Video shared in a post from Stein’s account on X appeared to show the moment the candidate was detained. The post said Stein’s campaign manager, Jason Call, and deputy campaign manager, Kelly Merrill-Cayer, were also arrested.
