On Wednesday, D.C. police initiated a clearance operation at a pro-Palestinian protest encampment located at George Washington University, resulting in the arrest of over 30 demonstrators. The police action occurred early in the morning and was part of a broader response to protests that have been ongoing due to the Israeli offensive in Gaza. Notably, the clearance happened hours before scheduled testimonies by the mayor and police chief on Capitol Hill regarding their previous inactions on the matter. Additionally, prior to the clearance, several protesters had marched to the home of the university's president, Ellen Granberg.
