Police Seize Gaza Protesters at UT Austin as Prez Faces No-Confidence Vote
More arrests are underway at the University of Texas at Austin, where state troopers, city police, and university officers seized several nonviolent protesters from the school’s “Gaza solidarity encampment” on Monday.
One video from the scene showed state troopers in riot gear closing in on the protesters, who had locked arms and sat close together on the grass.
“You failed Uvalde!” protesters shouted at the officers, a criticism meant to highlight the difference between the Texas Department of Public Safety’s inaction at the 2022 elementary school shooting and the use of force on unarmed protesters.
