As the Chancellor of UCLA was testifying before congress yesterday, pro-Palestinian students created a new encampment, scuffled with police and briefly took over two campus buildings.
You may recall that the previous encampment at UCLA was cleared out by police three weeks ago. Yesterday they returned, or tried to, but they were eventually removed by police.
Photos of the new encampment showed at least two tents on the Kerckhoff patio Thursday morning. Students said private security and UCLA police were on site, apparently to keep the camp from growing.
“Please take the time to assess your risk before coming,” UCLA’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine wrote on social media. “We need support in numbers asap.”
Here’s the initial call for numbers.
