On Monday, 11 anti-Israel protesters were arrested at the University of Minnesota.

The protesters were arrested by officers with the University of Minnesota Police Department with the assistance of the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, according to Fox News. Charges included trespassing, damage to property, assault, and riot.

Protesters “occupied and vandalized an administrative building,” according to the Fox News report, citing a statement from the university.

“‘Once inside the building, protesters began spray painting, including covering lenses of all internal security cameras, breaking interior windows, and barricading the building’s entrance and exit points,’ the statement said. ‘The full extent of the damage is unknown.’”

“Photos and video from the scene show protesters standing on the front steps to the building and chanting, with some holding Palestinian flags. Protesters barricaded a door using chairs, tables and what appeared to be bike locks, WCCO-TV reported.”
