Multiple Pomona College students were arrested following a protest that escalated when they entered an administrative building. The college President Gabrielle Starr threatened suspension immediately for those involved. The protest, which was in support of pro-Palestine sentiments, saw a significant police presence arriving shortly after the incident began. The demonstrators subsequently moved their protest to the Claremont police station. A total of 18 students were arrested in connection with the disruptive demonstrations. The protest was marked by a mob of over 150 pro-Hamas students storming the president's office, during which a "sickening, anti-black racial slur" was reportedly used against an administrator.
