STORY: Rows of police in tactical gear spilled onto the UCLA campus adjacent to a complex of tents occupied by throngs of demonstrators in anticipation of the raid a day after the university declared the encampment unlawful.
Hundreds of other pro-Palestinian activists assembled outside the tent city jeered police with chants some banging on drums and waving Palestinian flags, as officers marched onto the campus grounds. Many of the demonstrators wore the traditional Palestinian keffiyeh scarves.
Students have rallied or set up tent encampments at dozens of schools across the U.S. in recent days, expressing opposition to Israel's war in Gaza and demanding schools divest from companies that support Israel's government. Many of the schools have called in police to quell the protests.
