Police cleared out the pro-Palestine protest encampment on the campus of George Washington University early Wednesday morning hours after a group of demonstrators left the site and marched to the university president’s nearby home.

The move came nearly two weeks after demonstrators began protest activities over the Israel-Hamas war on University Yard. School officials had warned in statements of possible suspensions for students engaging in protest activities.

Umeh said some demonstrators were being treated by medics to flush their eyes after pepper spray was deployed in the area.The triggering event appears to have been the march to President Ellen Granberg’s home on Tuesday night. Protesters carried signs that read, "Free Palestine" and "Hands off Rafah," as they marched to Granberg’s home. Police were called to control the crowd.
