Dozens reportedly arrested as police clear George Washington University encampment

The school’s student paper reported arrests as hundreds of Washington DC police dismantled the impromptu tent village

Hundreds of Washington DC police, some deploying pepper spray, cleared a pro-Palestinian encampment at George Washington University early on Wednesday, in the latest clash between law enforcement and protesting students to sweep the US.

The GW Hatchet student paper reported that at least a dozen people had been arrested as the impromptu tent village was dismantled in University Yard. The Metropolitan police department said the arrests had been made for “assault of a police officer” and “unlawful entry”.

The George Washington confrontation follows the clearing of the protest encampment at the University of Chicago on Tuesday. A large police contingent was sent in to remove tents in the university’s Quad, after the school authorities said that negotiations with students had broken down.

Since campus protests first erupted three weeks ago at Columbia University in New York City and spread rapidly across the country, there have been at least 2,600 arrests on 50 campuses, according to the Associated Press.

At George Washington, tension rose on Tuesday night after protesters left the university encampment and marched to the home of the institution’s president, Ellen Granberg. The local TV station Fox 5 reported that they were chanting, “Granberg, Granberg, you can’t hide, you’re complicit in genocide.”

University authorities said in a statement following the removal of the encampment that the protest had “evolved into an unlawful activity, with participants in direct violation of multiple university policies and city regulations”. On Sunday, Granberg went further, claiming the protest had been taken over by outsiders and accusing the demonstrators of a raft of illegal and provocative acts.

“When protesters overrun barriers established to protect the community, vandalize a university statue and flag, surround and intimidate GW students with antisemitic images and hateful rhetoric, chase people out of a public yard based on their perceived beliefs, and ignore, degrade, and push GW police officers and university maintenance staff, the protest ceases to be peaceful or productive,” Granberg said .

Student protesters have called her account of events “deeply misleading” and countered that Granberg had repeatedly refused to meet with them and discuss their demands. They include disclosure by the university of all its investments and endowments, and divestment from academic partnerships in Israel .

One question looming over the volatile events at George Washington was why the DC police took so long to remove the encampment following days of requests by the university authorities to do so. On Friday the police chief and mayor of DC ordered police officers who had been assembling to dismantle the tents to stand down, saying they were worried about being seen to act against peaceful protesters, the Washington Post reported.

The mayor, Muriel Bowser, and the police chief, Pamela Smith, were set to answer questions from US Congress members on Wednesday about why they failed to respond to the university’s request to clear the campus until now.

Gators still trying to get fsu qb commit on campus for official visit, share this article.

Florida football is preparing for its official visit season and the list of prep prospects making their way to Gainesville in the coming weeks continues to grow. Billy Napier and Co. are leaving no stone unturned in the 2025 cycle as they continue their efforts to restore glory to the Orange and Blue.

One of the remaining targets on the big board is three-star quarterback Tramell Jones Jr . out of Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin. The 6-foot, 196-pound in-state passer is currently committed to the Florida State Seminoles but still might be amenable to other suitors.

Florida's interest in Jones

Alan Youngblood/Gainesville Sun

“They’re just reaching out to me — coach Napier, coach (Ryan) O’Hara,” Jones told 247Sports Zach Blostein . “Just showing me a deeper dive into the program. Showing off-the-field things — where we’d live. Just showing deeper information about the program.”

When asked if Florida has turned up the pressure on him, he noted that there has been an increased amount of attention of late.

“Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, they have. But I consistently tell a lot of people that I’m locked in with the Seminoles and that’s it.”

Possibility of a Gators visit

Sam Greenwood/Getty Images

“I don’t even know to be honest. If I really wanted to go ahead and be a Gator, I would have been set an official visit by now. I think that just shows how my recruiting process is going and how locked in I am.”

Recruiting Summary

Matt Pendleton/Gainesville Sun

Jones is ranked No. 368 overall and No. 26 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking has him at Nos. 432 and 33, respectively.

Lauren Boebert Gets The ‘Beetlejuice’ Treatment During Campus Protest Visit

Reporter, HuffPost

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) received an embarrassing reminder during her visit on Wednesday to an encampment set up by George Washington University students who are protesting Israel’s war in Gaza.

The far-right congresswoman was greeted with chants of “Beetlejuice,” a clear reference to her booting from a Denver theater in September for vaping and groping her then-date during a performance of the hit musical.

Someone also stood behind Boebert with a sign bearing the production’s name as she addressed protesters via a bullhorn.

Boebert toured the encampment with other Republican lawmakers. She accused the protesters of being “very disrespectful” to their fellow students and threatened that Congress could cut the school’s funding.

At another point during Boebert’s visit, she unsuccessfully tried to rip down a Palestinian flag that had been put on a statue of George Washington.

She said in footage that went viral on X, formerly Twitter, “This is America, and that shit needs to come down.”

Six GWU students among 33 arrested at campus protest encampment

Six George Washington University students were among the 33 demonstrators arrested early Wednesday at a campus protest encampment.

Six of the 33 people arrested early Wednesday at a pro-Palestinian encampment at George Washington University are current students at the school, according to a GWU spokesman.

College protests over Gaza war

All of those arrested — 29 on charges of unlawful entry and four on charges of assaulting police — were given criminal citations and released, according to authorities. They will have to appear in court at a later date, and they did not go through a formal booking process. The charges are misdemeanors.

Police said 25 of the people arrested are female, including a 17-year-old from Silver Spring, Md. Most of the adults are ages 19 to 23. According to social media posts, six of the people arrested attend Georgetown University, about a mile and a half from GWU. A spokeswoman for Georgetown could not immediately confirm that number.

The Washington Post reached three of the people arrested, and they declined to comment. University officials have asserted that outsiders co-opted the nearly two-week campus demonstration protesting the Israel-Gaza war and demanding that the school sever ties with the Jewish state. Police said that many people left when dispersal warnings were given before the arrests, so a precise breakdown of participants could not be determined.

Meanwhile, the university moved ahead with final exams and preparations for its May 19 commencement, although life has changed in recent weeks for the university’s 26,000 graduate and undergraduate students from more than 130 countries. Buildings are locked; University Yard, where the tent encampment had been set up, is barricaded with a security fence; and the private university is restricting on-campus activities , including ones centered on speech.

In addition, several buildings remained locked Wednesday, even for people with campus identification cards. The school posted on its website: “GW is open and operating with enhanced safety measures,” noting that building access is in “safety mode,” meaning doors are locked and can be opened only by cardholders who would normally have access.

D.C. police have reopened H Street NW near 20th Street. Officials said a heightened police presence will remain on campus at least through graduation day.

Officers swept through the encampment and tents erected on an adjacent public street before dawn Wednesday, ending the demonstration in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood.

University officials had pressed D.C. police to clear out the encampment far earlier. Officials said police resisted , saying the demonstration had remained largely peaceful until late last week. Police made the arrests hours before the city’s mayor and police chief were to appear at a congressional hearing to explain why they had not broken up the encampment, as police in many other cities with universities have done.

Police and the university president said the encampment had grown dangerous and unstable. Police asserted that makeshift weapons were found and that they uncovered a plan to take over a university building. Police said two assaults were reported, including one on a university police officer. GWU’s president said participants had used hateful, antisemitic language.

Protest leaders and other supporters disputed those assertions, saying the protest was peaceful and welcomed people from different backgrounds.

A statement from the university said that the school is “open and operating normally” and that final exams are going ahead as scheduled. The statement said that D.C. police, campus police and additional security officers will be stationed at University Yard and locations nearby. A police spokesman could not provide a timetable but referred to previous statements saying D.C. police are supporting campus officials.

The university also said that Kogan Plaza is closed, adding that “all activities, including activities of free expression on campus, will require reservation through the Division for Student Affairs.”

Arielle Geismar, the university’s student government president, said GWU’s stance has been disappointing.

“I don’t think anything about this is fair,” Geismar said. She struggled to find the words to describe the campus’s transformation — from a place she said was “full of life and community” to one enclosed by tall black gates.

“There’s a really big loss of a sense of community and togetherness at GW right now,” she said. “I think between students there are fractures. I think the biggest one, and the one I feel is nearing irreparable, is the one between students and administration.”

In a letter to the university Wednesday evening, GWU President Ellen M. Granberg acknowledged that the demonstrations “and their underlying causes have created deep fissures in our community that will take time to heal.” She wrote that officials “are also doing everything we can to ensure our graduating students and their families have the Commencement experience they deserve.”

But Granberg also continued to warn of sanctions for protesters who illegally trespassed and occupied parts of the campus. Several students had earlier been suspended.

“It is unfortunate that the behavior and actions of many protesters ultimately required significant police intervention, and GW will continue to pursue accountability for those involved,” Granberg wrote.

Also Thursday, some faculty members at the University of Virginia continued to question the use of police force to clear an encampment on the Charlottesville campus, leading to the arrests of more than 25 people. At a town hall this week, U-Va. administrators defended the actions, saying that the demonstration seemed to have the potential to become dangerous.

In a second town hall Thursday, faculty members showed a video of police trying to negotiate an agreement to take tents down Friday, and of protesters waving open umbrellas at officers Saturday before the school eventually called in the Virginia State Police. The faculty members said the encampment was peaceful before law enforcement showed up.

“The fact that what happened at the University of Virginia looks similar to things that have happened across the commonwealth, that are happening across the nation, makes me very suspicious of the idea that there was a specific local condition that led to this response. It rather seems like this is kind of a playbook,” said Laura Goldblatt, an assistant professor of English and global studies at U-Va. who witnessed Saturday’s arrests.

Karina Elwood and Jordan Tovin contributed to this report.

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters arrested at campuses as colleges crack down on encampments

Students at dozens of universities in the U.S. and Canada continue to protest for Palestinian human rights after months of war in Gaza.

Most student organizations participating in protests and encampments on campuses have similar demands of their administrations, including divestment from companies that could be profiting from the war and transparency about where they’re investing their money.

Many universities have said that they support freedom of speech and will allow protests on campus but that encampments violate school policy. On Saturday, dozens of people were arrested at colleges that cracked down on encampments, including Northeastern University in Boston, where about 100 people were detained.

Here are the most recent updates on what is happening on campuses across the country.

George Washington University

Administrators at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., said Sunday that protesters who remained at an on-campus encampment would be suspended from school and administratively barred from campus.

The encampment was being limited to 20 people, they said. A separate encampment off campus was under the purview of Washington police, the school’s top leaders said in a statement Sunday.

On Sunday, video protesters posted to social media depicted some clashes with law enforcement on campus.

The administrators, President Ellen M. Granberg and Provost Christopher Alan Bracey, earlier acknowledged a lack of violence on campus but singled out messaging deemed "highly offensive to many members of our community," including "hateful language."

New Orleans

Police said at least 10 people were arrested Sunday night at a pro-Palestinian protest in New Orleans, where students from Loyola and Tulane universities have joined the nationwide student movement.

New Orleans police told NBC affiliate WDSU that four officers were injured as police cleared protesters from Jackson Square, which is overlooked by St. Louis Cathedral.

Skirmishes broke out between pro-Palestinian protesters and pro-Israel counterprotesters at UCLA in the Westwood community of Los Angeles on Sunday.

No arrests or injuries were reported as members and supporters of the pro-Israel group Stand With Us rallied on campus and ultimately clashed with pro-Palestinian protesters at their expanding encampment.

Stand With Us co-founder Roz Rothstein said o n X that 1,000 people joined the counterprotest.

Video showed some protesters removing barriers that separated the two sides as fast-moving participants bumped bodies, stood off and yelled at one another.

“We are heartbroken to report that today, some physical altercations broke out among demonstrators," UCLA's vice chancellor for strategic communications, Mary Osako, said in a statement.

Osako said more security personnel and measures were subsequently put in place.

University of Southern California

Joel Curran, the University of Southern California ’s senior vice president of communications, said campus property, including the Tommy Trojan statue, was vandalized Saturday by people who are part of the group that has continued "to illegally camp on our campus."

"Despite repeated warnings, this group has also continued to disrupt our campus operations and harass students and others, in violation of numerous university policies," Curran said. "While the university fully supports freedom of expression, these acts of vandalism and harassment are absolutely unacceptable and will not be tolerated."

Curran did not say what the alleged acts of harassment were. He said protesters have refused President Carol Folt's “numerous attempts” to meet with them.

"We are hoping for a more reasonable response Sunday before we are forced to take further action. This area is needed for commencement setup early this week," he said.

Los Angeles police said no one was arrested during a protest on campus Saturday night.

USC students started protesting after Muslim student Asna Tabassum’s  valedictorian speech was canceled  because of unspecified security threats.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

President Sally Kornbluth said in a statement Sunday that negotiations between student protesters and administrators came to a stalemate when "students made clear on social media that they will not accept anything less than their original demands."

"What’s more, despite the fact that the students were engaged with us in what we thought were good-faith discussions, a group of students disrupted another official MIT event this morning," Kornbluth said. "I have long believed that dialogue and mutual understanding are the best way to resolve conflicts. But it is clear that this approach has not allowed the progress we were hoping for."

MIT did not immediately respond to a request for comment on what the administration plans to do next.

In a video statement published Saturday, Kornbluth acknowledged that the pro-Palestinian protests on campus have been peaceful so far but said the encampment "has been a clear violation of our procedures for registering and reserving space for campus demonstrations."

"We are open to further discussion about the means of ending the encampment," she said. "But this particular form of expression needs to end soon."

Emerson College

Video from last week showed officers in protective gear moving in on Boylston Place Alley on Emerson's campus in Boston, where an encampment was set up. A total of 118 protesters were arrested as a result, President Jay Bernhardt said in a statement.

Bernhardt said that the college "advocated with the City and Boston Police Department for several days to delay the removal of the encampment" and that when it became clear that was imminent, it encouraged protesters to remove tents from the alley.

"We know that the events of that night were, and are, emotionally overwhelming for our entire community, especially for the students present at the protest and the staff and faculty who were on site to provide support," he said.

Bernhardt said that the college will not bring campus disciplinary charges against the protesters and that it plans to encourage the district attorney not to pursue charges against those involved in the encampment.

University of Mary Washington

A total of 12 people, including nine students, were arrested for trespassing Saturday after the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia, prohibited an encampment on campus because it invited outsiders in, President Troy Paino said in a statement.

"We remain committed to working with our campus community members to facilitate peaceful expression, and we welcome individuals and families to our campus for public events, including demonstrations when those activities abide by policies and regulations," Paino said. "Events that do not follow instructions, attempt to disrupt classes or activities, or endanger the health, safety, and security of our campus community will not be allowed."

Northeastern University

About 100 people were detained at a pro-Palestinian protest at Northeastern University’s Boston campus Saturday morning, university officials said.

“What began as a student demonstration two days ago, was infiltrated by professional organizers with no affiliation to Northeastern,” the university said in its  statement on X . “Last night, the use of virulent anti-Semitic slurs, including ‘Kill the Jews,’ crossed the line. We cannot tolerate this kind of hate on our campus.”

Video circulating online appears to show the statement was made by a counterprotester holding an Israeli flag, who was met with boos from other protesters on campus. It was not clear whether the person who said the antisemitic phrase was among those detained or disciplined.

The leading student organization behind the protest, Huskies for a Free Palestine, called the administration’s statement “false narratives.” It accused the administration of implying pro-Palestinian protesters uttered the phrase and of using it “as justification to arrest over 100 Northeastern faculty, workers, and students.”

Columbia University

Columbia’s pro-Palestinian encampment stretched into its second weekend after talks between protesting students and the administration remained at a stalemate .

New York police said there were no reports of arrests of students at Columbia University on Friday or Saturday in relation to the encampment.

The Reach Education Fund, a U.S. nonprofit group that helps Palestinian students achieve their academic dreams, shared a video of children supporting protesters at Columbia.

"Thank you, the students of Columbia University," a student said. "We respect you," another said.

The Palestinian students also showed support for students protesting at Harvard and Yale universities.

"We hear you.. students of Yale University," read a sign held by a student.

Portland State University

On Friday, Portland State University President Ann Cudd announced that the institution will receiving “any further gifts or grants” from Boeing after it received a letter signed by members of the community.

The university group Students United for Palestinian Equal Rights has accused Boeing of being “complicit in the occupation and genocide in Palestine,” it said on Instagram .

A spokesperson for Boeing said it had no comment.

Arizona State University

At Arizona State University, 72 people were arrested Friday and accused of trespassing related to setting up an encampment, a university spokesperson said.

The school said that the encampment was established mostly by people who were not university students or faculty or staff members and that they refused instructions to disperse.

Only 15 of the 72 people who were arrested were students, according to the university.

Indiana University

Police arrested 23 people at Indiana University on Saturday after protesters were warned to remove tents or other structures that violated university policy. Those who did not were “detained and removed,” the university said.

The people who were arrested face charges from criminal trespass to resisting law enforcement. It is unclear whether they are affiliated with the university.

Washington University

At Washington University in St. Louis, more than 80 people were arrested Saturday after a group of students, employees and others not affiliated with the campus refused to leave after they pitched tents and called on others to join their protest, the university said in a statement.

"All will face charges of trespassing and some may also be charged with resisting arrest and assault, including for injuries to police officers," the school said.

Charlie Kirk’s UW visit ends on tense note between fans and protesters

A tense standoff took place at the University of Washington Tuesday night between pro-Palestinian encampment protesters and fans of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk after the conservative activist held an event on campus as part of his “Live Free Tour.”

Leading up to the event, people on both sides of the political spectrum feared the possibility of violence.

The UW Muslim Student Association called for support before the event, saying they expected Kirk’s event to draw a “large number of right-wing agitators,” pointing to an hourslong attack last week on an encampment at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Barricades were set up in advance of the event and police officers were present throughout the day.

Protesters camped at UW have been calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war and for the university to “materially divest from Israel” and end its century-old relationship with Boeing , among other actions.

Little confrontation happened for much of the day, and violence appeared contained to a few brief scuffles.

“Our priority was to ensure the safety of all students, faculty, staff and visitors to our campus during what we anticipated could be a tense evening, and we took steps to maintain distance between opposing groups,” UW spokesperson Victor Balta said in an email Tuesday evening. “We have received some reports of altercations and are continuing to monitor and work toward a peaceful conclusion to the night.”

Earlier in the afternoon, Kirk held his typical “Debate Me” format near the Husky Union Building Tuesday afternoon, as a crowd of about 200 students and community members gathered to watch. A group of protesters nearby attempted to disrupt the event, shouting chants.

Supporters of the Popular University for Gaza liberated zone formed in the Liberal Arts Quadrangle, where well over 100 tents are set up, encouraged its members not to engage with Kirk. On the lawn, students chanted, but the encampment remained calm. One academic building was spray-painted with the words “How many dead in Gaza.”

• Student murals ‘cover up’ hate on vandalized Seattle synagogue wall (December 2023)
• Seattle-area Jews feel on edge amid sharp rise in antisemitism (November 2023)

In the evening, hundreds of people lined up outside the Husky Union Building to attend Kirk’s event, while a group of protesters gathered at the University of Washington light rail station, leading Sound Transit to temporarily shut it down.

While the event was underway, the group at the light rail station marched to the encampment. People dressed in all black wielding shields of cutup trash cans formed a barricade around the Quad to protect the encampment against possible counterprotesters.

Religious speakers made an appearance, as well, with their own signs and megaphones, adding to the noise.

Before 9 p.m., as Kirk’s event let out, attendees made their way to the wall of protesters, where a standoff ensued. Chants of “Free Palestine!” competed with chants of “USA!” Small confrontations took place. Green lasers were shined into the trees and people threw eggs.

Around 9:30, counterprotesters dispersed while protesters lingered, the sound of their chants filling the space: “We will not stop, we will not rest.”

Report: LSU To Host Coveted Defensive Back Wesley Walker For Visit to Baton Rouge

Zack nagy | 19 hours ago.

The LSU football staff remains on the hunt for reinforcements on defense, and with the talk of the town surrounding the pursuit of defensive tackles, another position group has been making moves behind the scenes.

The Tigers hold talent in the defensive backfield for the future, but there is a lack of experienced veterans in the room.

During the spring, it was true freshman PJ Woodland and sophomore stud Ashton Stamps taking first team reps at cornerback

At safety, there's experience, but the program is clearly looking to add more depth in this area after Sage Ryan and Texas A&M transfer Jardin Gilbert handled starting safety duties.

The final piece comes at the STAR (safety/linebacker hybrid) position in Major Burns. Despite Burns being a veteran, the LSU staff is in pursuit of more bodies.

There is a multitude of experience levels in the defensive backfield ranging from true freshmen to fifth-year seniors, but one thing remains clear: LSU is looking for help in the secondary.

Now, Brian Kelly and Co. are set to host defensive back Wesley Walker for a visit to Baton Rouge, according to Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.

Walker has history at both Tennessee and Louisville, but will now look for a new program to suit up for this fall. He spent the first three years of his collegiate career at Georgia Tech.

He made the winter switch to Louisville after beginning the 2023 season with Tennessee and is now back on the market.

Walker tallied 53 tackles, a forced fumble and one sack during the 2023 season for the Volunteers.

There is significant intrigue into what the veteran defensive back could provide LSU, specifically at the safety position where he could give the Tigers some experience.

With three stops already at Georgia Tech, Tennessee and now Louisville, Walker has a history of playing in different conferences, but now the focus is on finding one final landing spot.

We've seen LSU role with a new STAR position under defensive coordinator Blake Baker's scheme. It's been Burns who has handled starting duties there, but the depth in this area is razor thin.

Redshirt freshman Kylin Jackson, who shined during the Spring Game last month, has taken reps as a backup there, but there's a lack of bodies at the position.

It's clear the program could envision Walker taking reps at the STAR position if they win out for his services, but it'll be a work in progress. A Swiss Army Knife, there are a few ways the program could utilize his game.

Now, LSU will look to get Walker on campus for a visit this week, according to 247Sports, as he searches for a new home.

LSU Country will have the latest on LSU's Transfer Portal plan with the program searching for reinforcements in a few different areas.
