The action was taken after some protesters resorted to"virulent anti-Semitic slurs, including 'Kill the Jews,'" Northeastern University claimed in a statement on social media platform X. In its statement, Northeastern said campus police backed by local law enforcement moved in Saturday to clear"an unauthorised encampment" on the campus.

It added that detained individuals who produced a valid school ID have been released and will face disciplinary proceedings, not legal action.Tensions were also escalating Saturday at the University of Pennsylvania, where the college president ordered a campus encampment to be disbanded immediately after what he said were"credible reports of harassing and intimidating conduct."
