Hundreds of California Highway Patrol officers on Thursday morning began removing barricades at the week-old pro-Palestinian encampment at UCLA and several protesters or their supporters were arrested.
Police methodically ripped apart the encampment’s barricade of plywood, pallets, metal fences and trash dumpsters. Officers were also pulling away some of the tents and canopies from the encampment.
The law enforcement effort came after officers spent hours threatening arrests over loud speakers if people did not disperse.
