More than 30 people were arrested at George Washington University in Washington D.C. as police broke up a pro-Palestine encampment overnight. The action by police came just hours before the city's mayor was set to answer questions from lawmakers. FOX's Rebekah Castor has the story.
Dozens of pro-Palestine protesters left the encampment site at George Washington University Tuesday night and marched to President Ellen Granberg's home in Northwest.
In a video obtained by FOX 5, the protesters can be heard chanting, "Granberg, Granberg, you can't hide, you're complicit in genocide."
Several Metropolitan Police Department officers were sent to contain the crowd, but no arrests were made.
Since Day 1, students' demands have been centered around protecting pro-Palestinian speech on campus, receiving full disclosure of university endowments and investments, as well as divesting all funds related to Israel-based academic partnerships.
