Now to America's colleges in turmoil.
New crackdowns overnight on pro Palestinian campus across the nation
as the number of protesters arrested in recent weeks has
now surpassed 2000.
Trevor Alt is in Los Angeles with the latest Good
Morning Trevor.
Good morning, George. So this is where the UCLA encampment
was set up.
You see this morning it is now just an empty
quad,
and we watched 24 hours ago as law enforcement tore
it apart and arrested more than 200 people.
But a lot of those demonstrators are already released,
and they're vowing to press on as new protests and
more intense clashes with police are happening every day.
Overnight chaos at Portland State University Police say protesters re
established an encampment inside the school's library.
Now unfortunately.
Law enforcement had cleared out that same building earlier that
day after demonstrators had barricaded themselves inside.
At least 30 arrests throughout the day.
A new video showing the dramatic moments this car drove
toward Israel Hamas war protesters Thursday.
The driver firing what appears to be pepper spray.
He was later taken into custody,
police citing mental health concerns.
In a New York City,
the NYPD releasing new body camera footage as officers cleared
this building,
Protesters seized at Columbia University.
Officials say nearly half of the 284 people arrested at
Columbia nearby City College Tuesday were not affiliated with the
schools.
Meanwhile, some are praising a group of fraternity brothers at
UNC Chapel Hill seen protecting an American flag that pro
Palestinian demonstrators were trying to take down.
A fundraising website for them now raising more than half
$1,000,000.
And at the University of Texas at Austin,
a very different environment, a Jewish and Palestinian student group
working to Createspace for both sides to have an open
conversation.
We believe inherently in a conflict like this,
there needs to be a space for dialogue to have
a mutual understanding.
And make no mistake, a lot of people celebrated the
removal of this encampment here at UCLA.
But not everyone is happy with how it was carried
out.
In fact, the largest employee union for the University of
California system is considering a strike over how these pro
Palestinian demonstrators were treated.
George. OK, Trevor, thanks.
