Los Angeles police cleared a pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Southern California without making arrests on Sunday (May 5) following turmoil at universities across the United States over the Israel-Hamas war.

Earl Ofari Hutchinson calls on USC President Carol Folt to convene an emergency student dialogue for the protest encampment in support of Palestinians at the University of Southern California's Alumni Park, during the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, in Los Angeles, California, US, April 29, 2024.

Police officers entered the USC encampment at about 5 am local time and worked with the university's Department of Public Safety to remove tents as dozens of student demonstrators peacefully left the area, police said. At UCLA, where pro-Israeli demonstrators clashed with pro-Palestinian protesters last week and where police arrested more than 200 people in clearing a pro-Palestinian encampment on Thursday, Chancellor Gene Block on Sunday announced the creation of a new Office of Campus Safety and appointed a leader, former Sacramento police chief Rick Braziel, who will report directly to Block.

Mitch Landrieu, the national co-chair for Biden's re-election campaign, on Sunday pushed back against that comparison, calling it "an over-exaggeration."One heated exchange between protesters and counterprotesters at the University of Mississippi on Thursday drew widespread condemnation after a viral video showed a group of mostly white students taunting a Black female protester.
