Police cleared an encampment at George Washington University in the early hours of Wednesday, May 8, after pro-Palestinian protesters had occupied the site for nearly two weeks. A number of arrests were made, the GW Hatchet, a student paper, said.

Footage recorded by Ianne Salvosa, for the Hatchet, shows protesters pushing against a line of police as one of them warns “Back off. You’re gonna get locked up tonight.”
