Wayne State University Pro-Palestine Encampment Removed by Police

Police Clear Pro-Palestine Encampment at Wayne State University

Detroit, Michigan – May 30, 2024 – In an early morning action, Wayne State University (WSU) officials, with support from the Detroit Police Department (DPD), dismantled a pro-Palestinian encampment on the university’s main quad.

According to reports, police issued three warnings via bullhorn before removing tents and other structures from the occupied area. While details remain unclear, reports suggest the police were in some form of protective gear, though not necessarily full “riot gear.”

This development comes after weeks of tension surrounding the encampment. WSU officials had previously requested the removal of the tents, citing concerns about public safety and unauthorized occupation of university property.

The exact reasons behind the timing of this morning’s action remain unknown. However, it’s clear that the dismantling of the encampment has not quelled the protest movement. Reports indicate that demonstrators have relocated their efforts off-campus, with some reports suggesting activity near the intersection of Third Street and Warren Avenue.

Further Developments Expected

As the situation continues to unfold, it’s likely that more details regarding the reasons for the police action and the response from the protesters will emerge. Stay tuned for further updates.
