Eighteen students at Pomona College in Claremont, California, were arrested on Friday and charged with misdemeanor trespassing, and one student was arrested for obstruction of justice, according to the Claremont police department, during a protest in response to the removal of pro-Palestinian art on the college campus.
Students criticized the heavy police response to the protest, as law enforcement officers from Claremont, Pomona, Azusa and La Verne responded to the scene in riot gear.
