Chicago police officers were seen Thursday morning taking down an anti-Israel encampment that had persisted for more than two weeks at DePaul University. The encampment, which began on April 30, was located on the Lincoln Park quad of the university's North Side campus.
Officers in riot gear arrived just before 6 a.m. to clear the encampment, following escalating tensions and safety concerns. DePaul President Robert L. Manuel stated that the encampment had led to physical altercations, threats of violence, and disruptions to academic activities on campus.
