TORONTO — The Toronto Police Service says it will enforce a court order granted yesterday that says demonstrators at a pro-Palestinian protest encampment at the University of Toronto must dismantle the site by 6 p.m. today.

Ontario Superior Court Justice Markus Koehnen says while there is no evidence the encampment participants have been violent or antisemitic, the demonstration has taken away the university's ability to control what happens in the area known as King's College Circle.

He says that leads to chaos, and his order gives police the authority to arrest and remove anyone who knows about it, which contradicts it. They said they won't disclose operational details, but they noted the court order states that police action is at their discretion.
