Texas State Troopers Detain Student Protesters at UT-Austin

Texas state troopers in riot gear moved in on student protesters at the University of Texas (UT), Austin, on April 29, footage shows.

At least eight people were arrested, according to reports.

Troopers had responded to demonstrations on UT-Austin’s campus on April 24, arresting “more than 20” people, according to a press release. The Austin American-Statesman reported 57 people were arrested but all charges dropped due to “deficiencies with the probable cause arrest affidavits,” according to Travis County Attorney Delia Garza.

Students at universities across the United States were calling on school boards to sever financial ties with companies and institutions that support Israel. Credit: The Texas Horn via Storyful
