The House on Wednesday canceled a hearing at which Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser was supposed to testify, after police cleared up the pro-Palestinian encampment at George Washington University.

The encampment was cleared by D.C. police at around 3 a.m. on Wednesday and 33 people were arrested, according to Axios. It isn’t clear how many of those arrested were college students at the university.
