Several activists were arrested early on Wednesday morning at George Washington University ( GWU), prompting police to clear an anti-Israel tent camp.
The students  , seen , protesting outside Granberg’s residence in Washington, DC, were chanting,” We the students have the power”,” Granberg in your ivory tower”, and,” Granberg, Granberg, we know you, are complicit in genocide too”.
According to AP reports, college officials had warned of potential suspensions for students who participated in protests at University Yard and abroad on campus.
The camp had developed into an unconstitutional exercise, with participants directly violating numerous university policies and city regulations, according to a statement from the university.

Almost 30 people had been detained, according to area administrators, according to local media reports that some protesters had been pepper-sprayed while police had blocked them from entering the camp.

Because” the volatility of the opposition has increased gradually over the past few weeks,” the department claimed as a result of its decision to separate demonstrators.
