California police confirm more than 130 anti-Israel agitators arrested at UCLA
More than 130 anti-Israel agitators were arrested after police raided the encampment on UCLA's campus.
The California Highway Patrol said in a statement that multiple law enforcement agencies responded to a mutual aid request from the UCLA Police Department. Wearing face shields and protective vests, they stood with their batons protruding out to separate them from demonstrators, who wore helmets and gas masks and chanted, "You want peace. We want justice."
Law enforcement removed barricades after hundreds of protesters defied orders to leave. Some people were detained, their hands bound with zip ties.
"In response to a mutual aid request from UCLA, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) deployed to assist the UCLA Police Department," Sergeant Alejandro Rubio told Fox News Digital. "The CHP was one of several law enforcement agencies who responded to the campus’ request for assistance. CHP assisted with arresting more than 130 protesters whom will be processed by the UCLA Police Department."
