Police moved in on a group of pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of California, Los Angeles on Monday night arresting more than a dozen in the process.
According to reporting from UCLA’s Daily Bruin, erected tents and barricades in Dickson Plaza a little after 3 p.m.
“Earlier in the day, protesters marched to Murphy Hall carrying fake bloody mummies and body parts while listing the names of Palestinians who have died in the Israel-Hamas war, chanting, ‘We will honor all our martyrs,’” the student outlet reported.
The day’s protests marked the third pro-Palestinian encampment.

Authorities dismantled the first encampment on May 2 after a weeklong occupation in Dickson Plaza, a little more than a day after violence broke out between demonstrators and counter-protestors.
Police in riot gear moved in on a second encampment on the campus on May 23 and quickly dismantled it after declaring the demonstration an “unlawful assembly.”
In both demonstrations, protesters were demanding UCLA divest from interests in Israel to protest the Jewish state’s bloody military offensive in Gaza after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israeli civilians.
Dozens of arrests were made at both demonstrations.
At around 7:30 p.m. this evening, police in riot gear armed with less-than-lethal weapons moved in to block the courtyard behind Dodd Hall, the Daily Bruin posted to X, formerly Twitter.
University campus police and officers with the California Highway Patrol were also helping L.A. police with demonstrators.
