Pro-Palestinian demonstrators march through Brookings Hall on Saturday at Washington University. Protesters marched through campus and attempted to set up an encampment in response to the university's ties to Boeing, a supplier of weapons to Israel.
After demonstrators marched for several hours and attempted to set up an encampment, police deemed the protest held on private property illegal and arrested about 100 people.
Washington University officials said they all will be charged with trespassing, and of those, some will also be charged with resisting arrest and assault in the injuries of officers. Many of those detained were made to sign criminal trespass warnings that state they could be arrested if they returned to any of Wash U's campuses.
