One taken into custody as pro-Palestine protestors rally near office of GWU president

Hundreds of protesters took to the streets in Northwest to protest the Gaza-Israel conflict. The rally continued into the night with protesters marching to the Office of the George Washington University President and setting up tents in the street.
D.C. police had a heavy presence in the area during the rally and were seen standing shoulder to shoulder using bikes as a sort of barricade.
Around 11:30 p.m., officers warned protesters to leave the area, saying they could be facing arrest. By 12:15 a.m. Friday one person was seen being taken into custody, prompting protesters to chant "Let him go." Police cleared out demonstrators shortly before 1 a.m. Friday.

Americans expect permanent expulsion. And normal Americans refuse to pay all of these unessery unlawful bills.
