Gaza protesters occupying California university building arrested in police crackdown

Authorities clear two buildings at Cal Poly Humboldt overnight, arresting students and faculty and detaining at least one journalist

Police cracked down on a pro-Palestine demonstration at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, early Tuesday morning, clearing two buildings that protesters had occupied since last week, arresting dozens of people and detaining at least one journalist.

The public university on California’s far north coast said in a statement early Tuesday that an operation by law enforcement, which included police from across the state, had “restored order” to the campus.
