SWAT officers storm Tulane encampment, arrest protesters

Members of the New Orleans Police Department, including SWAT officers, cleared a pro-Palestine encampment at Tulane University in the early hours of Wednesday morning, arresting 14.

After police confronted protesters at Columbia University, pro-Palestine protests have spread to college campuses across the country. Many of the protests are peaceful, but as some schools have called in law enforcement to clear what they call unauthorized gatherings, police have clashed with protesters, resulting in arrests.

At Tulane University, an encampment was set up this week, with students vowing to continue until the school, along with nearby Loyola University, divested from Israel.
