California Highway Patrol officers are currently stationed outside the UCLA encampment equipped with zip ties, crowd control gear, and non-lethal weapons. The encampment is occupied by anti-Israel protesters who are visibly displaying Palestinian flags and using strobe lights directed towards law enforcement. Additionally, the Los Angeles Police Department has established a perimeter on campus to maintain order.
Tensions are escalating as both protesters and police anticipate a forthcoming sweep of the encampment, scheduled to occur after midnight local time. The encampment and its surroundings are estimated to be occupied by several hundred anti-Israel protesters, with law enforcement agencies positioned on the perimeter.
As of 10:05 p.m. local time, there have been no reports of violence on campus. The situation remains fluid as authorities monitor the developments closely.
