Reports indicate clashes at UCLA, where authorities described the situation as “out of control” and “no longer safe,” prompting police intervention with riot gear to restore order on campus.
Meanwhile, arrests and confrontations occurred at other universities like Columbia University, City College of New York, Tulane University, and the University of Arizona. Law enforcement efforts included dispersing gas, firing rubber bullets, and clashing with demonstrators.
In New York, the NYPD intervened to remove a Palestinian flag replacing the American flag at City College of New York, part of ongoing protests. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass condemned the violence at UCLA as “absolutely abhorrent and inexcusable.”
