3h agoUConn police cleared a pro-Palestinian tent encampment and arrested some protesters on the Storrs campus Tuesday morning.
"UConn Police directed them four times on Tuesday morning to remove the tents and disperse, and they again repeatedly ignored the directives,” a statement released by the university read. “Officers then entered the site to remove the tents and tarps, and to arrest those who refused to comply."
Officials say Connecticut State Police assisted on site, but UConn police made the arrests.
