Police Remove Anti-Israel Protesters From Yale Campus Encampment

Demonstrators protest in solidarity with Pro-Palestinian organizers on the Columbia University campus, in New York

Police began removing anti-Israel protesters from an encampment on Yale’s campus early Monday after a week of protests calling for the university to divest from military weapon manufacturers.

Between 40 and 45 protesters were arrested as police looked through tents set up in the encampment near Beinecke Plaza, Yale Police Chief Anthony Campbell told the Yale Daily News reported. Beinecke Plaza is where more than 250 agitators had gathered Sunday night.

Protest organizers told the paper that at least some of those arrested are students.

Campbell told the sources that the arrested protesters would be charged with trespassing, a Class A misdemeanor, and would be released once they are processed.
