Police in Washington, D.C., issued five warnings to anti-Israel protesters at George Washington University, threatening arrest if they did not leave the premises. The standoff between law enforcement and demonstrators lasted for hours, with organizers eventually advising protesters to retreat and tone down their rally.
Throughout the protest, police repeatedly announced that protesters were in violation of DC Code 22-3302 for unlawful entry on university property and DC Code 22-1307a for being on the sidewalk or street. Failure to disperse peacefully would result in arrest, the warnings stated.
