At least 25 arrested at University of Virginia after police clash with pro-Palestinian protesters

At least 25 people were arrested for trespassing at the University of Virginia on Saturday after police clashed with pro-Palestinian protesters who refused to remove tents from campus, and demonstrators at the University of Michigan chanted anti-war messages and waved flags during commencement ceremonies.

Video on social media shows students pushed to the ground, pulled by their arms and sprayed with what appears to be a chemical irritant. It was the latest clash in several tense and sometimes violent weeks at colleges and universities around the country that have seen dozens of protests and hundreds of arrests at demonstrations over the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

Some schools have reached agreements with protesters to end the demonstrations and reduce the possibility of disrupting final exams and commencements.
