Police clad in riot gear swarmed Yale University’s Connecticut campus early Monday and started arresting students who had been staging an anti-Israel protest encampment there for several days.
Footage posted online showed cops arriving at the Ivy League school and blocking off entrances to a plaza at the New Haven campus, where roughly 200 protesters had been gathered.
Cops started warning protesters they risked being arrested if they didn’t clear out, the Yale Daily News reported.
Scores of protesters were cuffed for trespassing and hauled away on Yale University shuttle buses.
It wasn’t immediately clear how many had been nabbed.
As police descended on the campus, a group of defiant students had locked arms around a flagpole and were singing “We shall not be moved” — as officers could be seen checking the dozens of tents erected in the plaza, according to a video posted on X.
