Denver police conducted a raid on a pro-Palestine protest encampment at Tivoli Quad on Auraria Campus, resulting in the violent arrest of numerous students on the second day of protests. The protests, which began on the campus, escalated as police dismantled the protesters' encampment and threatened arrests for those who did not vacate the area, citing the ongoing genocide in Gaza as a protest motive. Streets leading into the campus were closed due to civil unrest, and an alert was issued advising people to avoid the area. Organizer Katie Leonard reported that between 80 and 100 people were arrested, although another update mentioned about 40 arrests. Following the police dispersal, protesters began to re-establish their encampment in the quad.
